Unlike earlier works, our feedback is discontinuous, but it does not contain distributed control terms. Our trajectory based approach is based on a contractivity condition. We illustrate our control in the context of a tracking problem for nonholonomic systems in chained form.EnglishObserverStabilityTime-varyingConference Paper10.23919/ACC.2019.8815357
