Abstract
This paper considers an ldquohomotopy methodrdquo for solving the exact tracking problem for nonlinear affine nonminimum phase systems. The method is presented in a general setting and is applied to the special case of the spherical pendulum. This approach allows finding sufficient conditions for exact tracking for T-periodic curves and bounds on the internal dynamics.
