    Path Following for Nonlinear Systems With Unstable Zero Dynamics: An Averaging Solution
    Dacic, DB ; Nesic, D ; Teel, AR ; Wang, W (IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2011-04-01)
    We consider a path-following problem in which the goal is to ensure that the error between the system output and the geometric path is asymptotically less than a prespecified constant, while guaranteeing a forward motion along the path and boundedness of all states. Comparing with the results on this problem, we exploit averaging techniques to develop an alternative simpler solution for a class of nonlinear systems and for paths satisfying a certain geometric condition.
