In this work, using algebraic methods, we characterize the parameters of a linear fractional transformation such that the composition of a class of rational function with the linear fractional transformation preserves stability, in the case that the rational function is stable, or stabilizes the original rational function, in the case that the rational function is unstable. As a consequence, we obtain a dual result about the robust stabilization of a plant--represented as a rational function--compensated with a controller when there is a nonlinear disturbance induce by function composition on the parameters of the controller. This implies the non-fragility of the controller and also the plant robust stabilization for the same class of disturbances. Also, for a particular choice of one of the parameters in the linear fractional transformation, the composition of functions preserves the structure of Proportional, Proportional-Derivative and Proportional-Derivative-Integral type of controllers.
