Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| As a complement to some new breakthroughs on global almost disturbance decoupling problem with stability for nonlinear systems, in a recent note, we identified a class of unstable zero dynamics that are allowed to be affected by disturbances. The class of the unstable zero dynamics identified in that note is linear and have all the poles at the origin. In this paper, we enlarge such a class of zero dynamics to include any linear system with all its poles in the closed left-half plane. This enlargement is due to a new scaling technique that views each pair of jw axis zeros as a "generalized integrator" and transforms the zero dynamics into a number of chains of "generalized integrators." Key Words : Almost disturbance decoupling; L 2 -gain; high gain; low gain; generalized integrators. 0 The first author would like to thank Professor Alberto Isidori for his encouragement and helpful discussions. 1 1 Introduction and Preliminaries We revisit the problem of global almost disturbanc... | |||||||||||||||
