Abstract :
It is shown that learning control can be used to produce control signals for perfect tracking for a class of nonlinear systems defined by the Cartwright-Littlewood equation. The idea is to utilize the qualitative information of the nonlinear systems so that convergence in the functional space can be achieved. The design is not based on precise information about the quantitative parameters of the plant. The result is illustrated by the example of the Van der Pol equation
