  • Abstract
    Output tracking for nonlinear systems is complicated by the existence of "singular submanifolds". These are surfaces on which the decoupling matrix loses rank. To provide an additional control action we identify a class of smooth vector fields whose integral curves can be incrementally tracked using rapidly switched piecewise constant controls. These discontinuous controllers are applied to sliding mode control.
