In this paper, a high-order nonlinear continuous integral-derivative observer is presented based on finite-time stability and singular perturbation technique. The proposed integral-derivative observer can not only obtain the multiple integrals of a signal, but can also estimate the derivatives. Conditions are given ensuring finite-time stability for the presented integral-derivative observer, a...

This paper investigates the exponential observer problem for the Lotka-Volterra (L-V) systems. We have applied Sundarapandian’s theorem (2002) for nonlinear observer design to solve the problem of observer design problem for the L-V systems. The results obtained in this paper are applicable to solve the problem of nonlinear observer design problem for the L-V models of population ecology in the...

In this paper we propose a new observer design technique for nonlinear systems. It combines the well-known Kazantzis-Kravaris-Luenberger observer and the recently introduced parameter estimation-based observer, which become special cases of it—extending the realm of applicability of both methods. A second contribution of the paper is the proof that these designs can be recast as particular case...

In this work, the robust position control scheme is proposed for the electro-mechanical system using the disturbance observer and backstepping control method. To the external unknown load of the electro-mechanical system, the nonlinear disturbance observer is given to estimate the external unknown load. Combining the output of the developed nonlinear disturbance observer with backstepping techn...

introduction: vertical root fracture (vrf) is a complication which is chiefly diagnosed radiographically. recently, film-based radiography has been substituted with digital radiography. at the moment, there is a wide range of monitors available in the market for viewing digital images. the present study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of medical and conventi...

Abstract. In this paper, a high-order nonlinear integral-derivative observer is presented based on finitetime stability and singular perturbation technique. The proposed integral-derivative observer can not only obtain the multiple integrals of a signal, but can also estimate the derivatives. Conditions are given ensuring finite-time stability for the presented integral-derivative observer, and...

In this paper, observer design problem for rectangular discrete-time singular systems with time-varying delay is discussed. Based on restricted system equivalent (RSE) transformations and by introducing new state vectors, the problem is transformed into observer design problem for time-varying delay discrete-time standard state-space systems. By Lyapunov function method and linear matrix inequa...

The problem of observer design for nonlinear systems has got great attention in the recent literature. The nonlinear observer has been a topic of interest in control theory. In this research, a modified robust sliding-mode observer (SMO) is designed to accurately estimate the state variables of nonlinear systems in the presence of disturbances and model uncertainties. The observer has a simple ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To elaborate a method for applicator reconstruction for MRI-based brachytherapy for cervical cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Custom-made plastic catheters with a copper sulphate solution were made for insertion in the source channels of MR-CT compatible applicators: plastic and titanium tandem ring applicators, and titanium needles. The applicators were CT and MR scanned ...

non-fragile observer design is the main problem of this paper. using continuous frequency distribution, the stability conditions based on integer order lyapunov theorem are derived for lipschitz class of nonlinear fractional order systems. the proposed observer is stable beside the existence of both gain perturbation and input disturbance. for the first time, in this paper a systematic method i...
