A
control system is a dynamical system on which one can act by using
controls. For these systems a fundamental problem is the stabilization
issue: Is it possible to stabilize a given unstable equilibrium by using
suitable feedback laws? (Think to the classical experiment of an
upturned broomstick on the tip of one's finger.) On this problem, we
present some pioneer devices and works (Ctesibius, Watt, Maxwell,
Lyapunov...), some more recent results, and an application to the
regulation of the rivers La Sambre and La Meuse in Belgium. A special
emphasize is put on positive or negative effects of the nonlinearities.
