Nonlinear systems affine in the input, and having a well-defined (vect
or) relative degree are considered. The invertibility of the input out
put dynamics can be used to achieve tracking of smooth desired traject
ories if the associated 'zero-dynamics' are stable. We consider tracki
ng in nonlinear systems with unacceptable zero-dynamics (i.e. non-mini
mum phase systems). The desired trajectories are assumed to be generat
ed by some exosystem. We use sliding control to achieve tracking indep
endent of disturbances entering in the channels of the input. The main
idea is (i) to do an output-redefinition such that the zero-dynamics
with respect to this new output are acceptable; (ii) to define a modif
ied desired trajectory for the new output to track such that in the pr
ocess, the original output tracks the original desired trajectory asym
ptotically.
