Abstract :
This paper studies global output tracking for nonlinear systems with singular points. We identify a class of smooth output trajectories which the system can exactly track using continuous open-loop controls. For any such trajectory we then construct a discontinuous feedback controller which achieves robust tracking of the desired output trajectory in the face of perturbations. These results are then applied to the control of a chain system
