A contraction approach to input tracking via high gain feedback

This paper adopts a contraction approach to study exogenous input tracking in dynamical systems under high gain proportional output feedback. We give conditions under which contraction of a nonlinear system's tracking error implies input to output stability from the input signal's time der...
