A practical functional observer scheme for interconnected time-delay systems

This paper proposes a partially distributed functional observer scheme for a class of interconnected linear systems with very strong non-instantaneous subsystems interaction and with time delays in the local states and in the transmission of output information from the remote subsystems. A set of easily verifiable existence conditions is established and upon its satisfaction, simple distributed observers are designed using a straightforward design procedure. Simulation results of a numerical example are given to substantiate the feasibility of the approach.

An observer design procedure for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems

This paper considers a class of uncertain, nonlinear differential state delayed control systems and presents a reduced-order observer design procedure to asymptotically estimate any vector state functionals. The method proposed involves decomposition of the delayed portion of the system into two parts: a matched and mismatched part. Provided that the rank of the mismatched part is less than the number of the outputs, a reduced-order linear functional observer, with any prescribed stability margin, can be constructed by using a simple procedure. A numerical example is given to illustrate the new design procedure and its features.

Effect of a distributed delay on relative stability of diffusely coupled systems,with application to synchronized equilibria

We perform a linear stability analysis of synchronized equilibria in networks of diffusely coupled oscillators, affected by distributed delays in the coupling, and we characterize the structure of the emanating solutions in the bifurcations, under the assumption that the delay kernels are equal to each other. The motivation comes from the fact that valuable quantitative and qualitative information about the occurrence and type of synchronous or partially synchronous solutions can be obtained from this linear analysis. We analyze stability of synchronized equilibria as a function of the parameters of a so‐called shifted gamma‐distributed delay, which allows to represent or approximate a large class of distributed delay kernels. We also present an asymptotic analysis method, which is particularly suitable for studying the effect of a distribution of delays on stability. We apply the methods to networks of coupled Lorenz systems, where we highlight that stability is favored by a distributed delay compared with a discrete delay with the same average value. Among others, we show that if the coupling is diffusive, the synchronized equilibria become asymptotically stable for large values of the coupling gain, that is, the systems locally asymptotically synchronize at an equilibrium, independently of the network topology.
