Abstract
The problem of controlling a fixed nonlinear plant in order to have its output track (or reject) a family of reference (or disturbance) signal produced by some external generator is discussed. It is shown that, under standard assumptions, this problem is solvable if and only if a certain nonlinear partial differential equation is solvable. Once a solution of this equation is available, a feedback law which solves the problem can easily be constructed. The theory developed incorporates previously published results established for linear systems
