The problem of signal tracking, with disturbance in the plant, is solved using a zero variation methodology. A controller is designed in order to minimize the H2-norm of the closed-loop, such that the effect of the perturbation is attenuated. The modification of the zeros is used to minimize the H<FONT FACE=Symbol>¥</FONT>-norm from the reference input signal to the error signal, where the error is taking as the difference between the reference and the output signals, i.e., a tracking problem. The design is formulated on the linear matrix inequalities framework, such that the global optimum of the problem is obtained. A example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
