Abstract
When possible, observation of the disturbance provides valuable feedforward information for the control of dynamic systems. Disturbance can have a different role whether it affects the input or the output of a system. Although the two cases can be treated under a unified formalism, in practice they have different meaning. When the disturbance affects the output, it is useful to regard it as a desired signal and the problem is to generate an output that either matches it perfectly or gets as close as possible to it (tracking problem).
