Genericity of observability and the existence of asymptotic observers

J. Gauthier, I Kupka (1995)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper, we deal with the genericity of the observability property and the existence of asymptotic observers for nonlinear systems. In the case where the number of outputs is larger than the number of inputs and the state space is compact, we prove that observability in a very strong sense (more or less, observability for each sufficiently differentiable input) is generic. This is obtained by using standard (but not easy) transversality arguments. For the inputs that are bounded with their...

Nonlinear observers for locally uniformly observable systems

Hassan Hammouri, M. Farza (2003)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper deals with the observability analysis and the observer synthesis of a class of nonlinear systems. In the single output case, it is known [4, 5, 6] that systems which are observable independently of the inputs, admit an observable canonical form. These systems are called uniformly observable systems. Moreover, a high gain observer for these systems can be designed on the basis of this canonical form. In this paper, we extend the above results to multi-output uniformly observable systems....

Observer design using a partial nonlinear observer canonical form

Klaus Röbenack, Alan Lynch (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper proposes two methods for nonlinear observer design which are based on a partial nonlinear observer canonical form (POCF). Observability and integrability existence conditions for the new POCF are weaker than the well-established nonlinear observer canonical form (OCF), which achieves exact error linearization. The proposed observers provide the global asymptotic stability of error dynamics assuming that a global Lipschitz and detectability-like condition holds. Examples illustrate the...

Observers for Canonic Models of Neural Oscillators

D. Fairhurst, I. Tyukin, H. Nijmeijer, C. van Leeuwen (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We consider the problem of state and parameter estimation for a class of nonlinear oscillators defined as a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Observable variables are limited to a few components of state vector and an input signal. This class of systems describes a set of canonic models governing the dynamics of evoked potential in neural membranes, including Hodgkin-Huxley, Hindmarsh-Rose, FitzHugh-Nagumo, and Morris-Lecar...

On determining unknown functions in differential systems, with an application to biological reactors

Éric Busvelle, Jean-Paul Gauthier (2003)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we consider general nonlinear systems with observations, containing a (single) unknown function ϕ . We study the possibility to learn about this unknown function via the observations: if it is possible to determine the [values of the] unknown function from any experiment [on the set of states visited during the experiment], and for any arbitrary input function, on any time interval, we say that the system is “identifiable”. For systems without controls, we give a more or less complete...

Robust coordination control of switching multi-agent systems via output regulation approach

Xiaoli Wang, Fengling Han (2011)

Kybernetika

In this paper, the distributed output regulation problem of uncertain multi-agent systems with switching interconnection topologies is considered. All the agents will track or reject the signals generated by an exosystem (or an active leader). A systematic distributed design approach is proposed to handle output regulation via dynamic output feedback with the help of canonical internal model. With common solutions of regulator equations and Lyapunov functions, the distributed robust output regulation...

Similarity transformation of matrices to one common canonical form and its applications to 2D linear systems

Tadeusz Kaczorek (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The notion of a common canonical form for a sequence of square matrices is introduced. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a similarity transformation reducing the sequence of matrices to the common canonical form are established. It is shown that (i) using a suitable state vector linear transformation it is possible to decompose a linear 2D system into two linear 2D subsystems such that the dynamics of the second subsystem are independent of those of the first one, (ii) the...
