Abstract
The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling a positioning element of an internal combustion engine. In the method and arrangement, a positioning element is used which exhibits a so-called torque-reversal point. If the positioning device is in the region of the torque-reversal point, then the drive signal for the positioning device is changed in the sense of a current change which is as abrupt as possible.
