The stabilization problem for a class of non-linear, non-autonomous discrete-time systems is discussed. Based on the freezing method to discrete-time systems, we derive explicit conditions for global feedback exponential stabilizability. This approach will allow us to avoid the construction of Lyapunov functions in some situations.
Keywords: freezing method; Non-linear discrete-time systems; stabilization.
