The output of a singe-input-single-output linear feedback system with more than one pole in excess over the zeros in the loop transmission cannot track arbitrarily fast its input (by the root locus). In this work we extend the linear feedback so that some of the open loop poles may depend on the open loop gain; we call this new class quasi-linear feedback systems. We then derive time domain, pole-zero, and frequency domain conditions which ensure arbitrarily fast and robust tracking by quasi-linear feedback, for an arbitrary number of poles in excess over the zeros. We prove that in a particular case these conditions are equivalent, and that the boundedness in frequency of the closed loop transfer function is no longer necessary for achieving arbitrarily fast tracking. The robustness is to external disturbances and initial conditions, and the open loop has to be minimum phase. Some examples are presented which illustrate these results. They also show that this good performance can be obtained with a reduced control effort, and that quasi-linear feedback can alleviate the limitation on performance of non-minimum phase open loops.
