DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jean-Michel Coron\nA control system is a dynamic system 
 that can be acted upon using controls. For these systems\, a fundamental p
 roblem is the question of stabilization: is it possible to stabilize a giv
 en unstable equilibrium using appropriate feedback laws? (Think of the cla
 ssical experiment of a broomstick on the fingertip.) On this problem\, we 
 present some old devices and pioneering works (Ctesibius\, Watt\, Maxwell\
 , Lyapunov...)\, more recent results\, and an application to the regulatio
 n of the rivers La Sambre and La Meuse. The focus is on the positive or ne
 gative effects of non-linearities.
