HOMOGENEOUS OBSERVER DESIGN 1841Appendix C. Proof of Lemma 2.13. The proof of this lemma is divided intothree parts.1. We first show, by contradiction, that there exists a real number c 0 satisfyingη 0 (θ) − cγ 0 (θ) < 0 ∀ θ ∈ S r0 , ∀ c ≥ c 0 .Suppose there is no such c 0 . This means there is a sequence (θ i ) i∈N in S r0which satisfiesη 0 (θ i ) − iγ 0 (θ i ) ≥ 0 ∀ i ∈ N .The sequence (θ i ) i∈N lives in a compact set. Thus we can extract a convergentsubsequence (θ il ) l∈N which converges to a point denoted θ ∞ .As the functions η 0 and γ 0 are bounded on S r0 and γ 0 takes nonnegativevalues, 8 γ 0 (θ il ) must go to 0 as i l goes to infinity. Since the functions η 0 andγ 0 are continuous, we get γ 0 (θ ∞ ) = 0 and η 0 (θ ∞ ) ≥ 0, which is impossible.Consequently, there exist c 0 and ε 0 > 0 such that(C.1) η 0 (θ) − cγ 0 (θ) ≤ −ε 0 < 0 ∀ θ ∈ S r0 , ∀ c ≥ c 0 .Moreover, since the functions η 0 and γ 0 are homogeneous in the standardsense (see Remark 2.6), we have the second inequality in (2.4).Following the same argument, we can find positive real numbers c ∞ and ε ∞such that(C.2) η ∞ (θ) − cγ ∞ (θ) < −ε ∞ ∀ θ ∈ S r∞ , ∀ c ≥ c ∞ ,and the third inequality in (2.4) holds.In the rest of the proof, letc 1 = max{c 0 ,c ∞ }, ε 1 = min{ε 0 ,ε ∞ } .2. Since η and γ are homogeneous in the 0-limit, there exists λ 0 such that, forall λ ∈ (0,λ 0 ] and all θ ∈ S r0 , we haveη(λ r0 ⋄ θ) ≤ λ d0 η 0 (θ) +λ d0 ε 14 , λd0 γ 0 (θ) − λ d0 ε 14c 1≤ γ(λ r0 ⋄ θ) ,which readily givesη(λ r0 ⋄ θ) − c 1 γ(λ r0 ⋄ θ) ≤ λ d0 η 0 (θ) +λ d0 ε 12 − c 1λ d0 γ 0 (θ) .Using (C.1), we getη(λ r0 ⋄ θ) − c 1 γ(λ r0 ⋄ θ) ≤ −λ d0 ε 12and therefore, since γ takes nonnegative values,∀ λ ∈ (0,λ 0 ] , ∀ θ ∈ S r0 ,η(λ r0 ⋄ θ) − cγ(λ r0 ⋄ θ) ≤−λ d0 ε 12∀ λ ∈ (0,λ 0 ] , ∀ θ ∈ S r0 , ∀ c ≥ c 1 .8 Indeed, if we had γ 0 (x) < 0 for some x in R n \{0}, by letting ɛ = − γ 0(x), the homogeneity in2the 0-limit of γ would give a real number λ> 0 satisfying γ(λr 0 ⋄x)λ d ≤ γ0 0 (x) +ɛ = γ 0(x)< 0. This2contradicts the fact that γ takes nonnegative values only. Also by continuity we have γ 0 (0) ≥ 0.Copyright © by SIAM. Unauthorized reproduction of this article is prohibited.

ASTOLFISimilarly, there exists λ ∞ satisfyingη(λ r∞ ⋄θ)−cγ(λ r∞ ⋄θ) ≤−λ d∞ ε 12Consequently, for each c ≥ c 1 , the setif not empty, must be a subset of∀ λ ∈ [λ ∞ , +∞) , ∀ θ ∈ S r∞ , ∀ c ≥ c 1 .{x ∈ R n \{0} |η(x) − cγ(x) ≥ 0} ,C = {x ∈ R n : |x| r0 ≥ λ 0 } ⋃ {x ∈ R n : |x| r∞ ≤ λ ∞ } ,which is compact and does not contain the origin.3. Suppose now that for all c the first inequality in (2.4) is not true. This meansthat, for all integers c larger than c 1 , there exists x c in R n satisfyingη(x c ) − cγ(x c ) ≥ 0 ,and therefore x c is in C. Since C is a compact set, there is a convergentsubsequence (x cl ) l∈N which converges to a point denoted x ∗ different fromzero. Also as above, we must have γ(x ∗ ) = 0 and η(x ∗ ) ≥ 0. But thiscontradicts the assumption, namely,{ x ∈ R n \{0} , γ(x) =0} ⇒ η(x) < 0 .Appendix D. Proof of Proposition 2.18. Because the vector field f is homogeneousin the ∞-limit, its approximating vector field f ∞ is homogeneous in thestandard sense (see Remark 2.6). Let d V∞ be a positive real number larger thanr ∞,i for all i in {1,...,n}. Following Rosier [29], there exists a C 1 , positive definite,proper, and homogeneous function V ∞ : R n → R + , with weight r ∞ and degree d V∞ ,satisfying(D.1)∂V ∞∂x (x)f ∞(x) < 0 ∀ x ≠ 0 .From P1 in section 2.2, we know that the function x ↦→ ∂V∞∂x(x)f(x) is homogeneousin the ∞-limit with associated triple ( r ∞ , d ∞ + d V∞ , ∂V∞∂x (x)f ∞(x) ) . Letɛ ∞ = − 1 2 maxθ ∈ S r∞{ ∂V∞∂x (θ)f ∞(θ)and note that, by inequality (D.1), ɛ ∞ is a strictly positive real number.
