The design of state observer for a linear discrete or continuous time uncertain system based on circularly regional pole assignment is studied. Taking use of algebraic Riccati equations and linear matrix inequalities, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the state observer based on circularly regional pole assignment is proposed and the formulation of the gain matrix of the ...

We study the global asymptotic stabilization by output feedback for systems whose dynamics are in a feedback form where the nonlinear terms admit an incremental rate depending only on the measured output. The output feedback we consider is of the observer-controller type where the design of the controller follows from standard robust backstepping. As far as we know, the novelty is in the observ...

This paper demonstrates the solutions of digital observer implementation for industrial applications. A nonlinear high-gain discrete observer is proposed to compensate the tracking error due to the flexibility of robot manipulators. The proposed discrete observer is obtained by using Euler approximate discretization of the continuous observer. A series of experimental validations have been carr...

pH control is a challenging problem due to its highly nonlinear nature. In this paper the performances of two different adaptive global linearizing controllers (GLC) are compared. Least squares technique has been used for identifying the titration curve. The first controller is a standard GLC based on material balances of each species. For implementation of this controller a nonlinear state...

A new observer, namely a cascade observer, for a general class of nonlinear SISO systems was presented by the authors [1]. Inspired by but different from a highgain observer, the cascade observer features a cascade structure and adaptive observer gains. In doing so the cascade observer attempts to overcome some of the typical problems that may pose to a high-gain observer. Based on the cascade ...

Based on a theoretical erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) model, we have proposed an application of disturbance observer(DOB) with proportional/integral/differential(PID) controller to EDFA for minimizing gain-transient time of wavelength -division-multiplexing (WDM) multi channels in optical amplifier in channel add/drop networks. We have dramatically reduced the gain-transient time to less t...

In this paper we design exponentially convergent observers for a class of parabolic partial integro-differential equations (P(I)DEs) with only boundary sensing available. The problem is posed as a problem of designing an invertible coordinate transformation of the observer error system into an exponentially stable target system. Observer gain (output injection function) is shown to satisfy a we...

This paper is concerned with stability analysis problem of nonlinear observer design for a class of multilink flexible manipulators (MLFMs). Specifically, the dynamics of the MLFM is modeled by the use of a Lagrangian approach. In a unified algebraic Riccati matrix equality (ARME) framework, one corresponding error-state system is proven to be asymptotic stable in the mean square (ASMS) for a n...

This paper deals with flux estimation for induction motor drives by using a full-order flux observer. A problem of full-order flux observers is their need for computationally demanding discretization methods in order to work stably and accurately at high speeds. An implementation of the full-order flux observer using the stator and rotor fluxes as state variables in the stator reference frame a...
