An \(r\)-order finite-time state observer for reaction-diffusion genetic regulatory networks with time-varying delays (Q1632868)

Summary: It will be settled out for the open problem of designing an \(r\)-order finite-time (F-T) state observer for reaction-diffusion genetic regulatory networks (RDGRNs) with time-varying delays. By assuming the Dirichlet boundary conditions, aiming to estimate the mRNA and protein concentrations via available network measurements. Firstly, sufficient F-T stability conditions for the filtering error system have been investigated via constructing an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) and using several integral inequalities and (reciprocally) convex technique simultaneously. These conditions are delay-dependent and reaction-diffusion-dependent and can be checked by MATLAB toolbox. Furthermore, a method is proposed to design an \(r\)-order F-T state observer, and the explicit expressions of observer gains are given. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
