In this paper, we consider a class of tracking problems involving nonlinear affine systems. We first established a result on global asymptotic stability for a class of nonlinear affine systems. Then, the tracking problem under consideration is converted into a nonlinear optimal-regulator problem by introducing an appropriate cost function. On this basis, the result on global asymptotic stability is used to obtain a globally asymptotically stable feedback controller for the tracking problem. For illustration, two examples are solved using the proposed method.
