Homework Statement


I can't seem to figure out how this next step of this derivation for equation 2.33 was produced. This is a graduate level textbook on Adaptive Backstepping.

  • Printed text and equations from an adaptive backstepping textbook: controller definitions alpha_1 = -c1 z1 - phi1^T theta_hat1 and update law, Lyapunov function V1 = z1^2/2 + theta_tilde^T Gamma^-1 theta_tilde/2, and the derivative of V1 simplified to -c1 z1^2 + z1 z2.

In case my question wasnt clear enough, I don't understand how the author produced equation 2.33.
