An approach to observer design

From MaRDI portal





The paper is based on the behavioral approach introduced by \textit{J. C. Willems} [IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 36, No. 3, 259-294 (1991; Zbl 0737.93004)]. This approach focuses on the set of system trajectories, the behavior, rather than on the classical input/output or state space contexts. The observer problem for linear time-invariant continuous-time systems is investigated in the behavioral framework. The notions of observability and detectability are introduced, and necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an asymptotic observer are provided. This leads to a complete parametrization of all possible observers. Then the problem of determining observers with a proper transfer matrix is addressed, and observer-based controllers for the original plant are obtained. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0911.00015].
