We consider output trajectory tracking for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems whose internal dynamics may be modelled by infinite-dimensional systems which are bounded-input, bounded-output stable. We describe under which conditions these systems belong to an abstract class for which funnel control is known to be feasible. As an illustrative example, we show that for a system whose internal dynamics are modelled by a transport equation, which is not exponentially stable, we obtain prescribed performance of the tracking error.
