Abstract

Given a non-contracting trajectory of a nonlinear system, we consider the question of designing an input perturbation that makes the perturbed trajectory contracting. This paper stresses the analogy of this question with the classical question of feedback stabilization. In particular, it is shown that the existence of an output variable that ensures contraction of the inverse system facilitates the design of a contracting input perturbation. We illustrate the relevance of this question in parameter estimation.
