Extended observer form: simple existence conditions

The paper focuses on the problem of transforming the discrete-time single-input single-output nonlinear state equations into the extended observer form, which, besides the input and output, also depends on a finite number of their past values. The simple necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the extended coordinate change and the output transformation, allowing to solve the problem, are formulated in terms of certain partial derivatives, related to the input–output equation, corresponding to the state equations. Moreover, a certain algorithm for transforming the state equations into the observer form is proposed.     

Algebraic conditions for state equivalence to a discrete-time nonlinear observer canonical form

Algebraic necessary and sufficient conditions for a single output discrete-time system to be state equivalent to a (generalized) nonlinear observer canonical form with (or without) output transformation are derived. Our algebraic conditions are easier to verify for researchers unaccustomed to differential geometry. In addition, our proofs are constructive and contain the state and output transformations for (generalized) nonlinear observer canonical forms.

Transformation of Nonlinear MIMO Discrete‐Time Systems into the Extended Observer Form

The paper addresses the problem of transforming discrete‐time multi‐input multi‐output nonlinear state equations into the extended observer form, which, besides the inputs and outputs, also depends on a finite number of their past values. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the extended coordinate transformation are formulated in terms of differential one‐forms, associated with the input‐output equations, corresponding to the state equations. The difference between the single‐input single‐output and multi‐input multi‐output cases is described. The applicability of the conditions is illustrated by an example.

Sampled-data extended state observer for uncertain nonlinear systems

In this paper, we present a sampled-data nonlinear extended state observer (NLESO) design method for a class of nonlinear systems with uncertainties and discrete time output measurement. To accommodate the inter-sample dynamics, an inter-sample output predictor is employed in the structure of the NLESO to estimate the system output in the sampling intervals, where the prediction is used in the proposed observer instead of the system output. The exponential convergence of the sampled-data NLESO is also discussed and a sufficient condition is given by the Lyapunov method. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed observer.

Discrete-time neural network output feedback control of nonlinear discrete-time systems in non-strict form

An adaptive neural network (NN)-based output feedback controller is proposed to deliver a desired tracking performance for a class of discrete-time nonlinear systems, which are represented in non-strict feedback form. The NN backstepping approach is utilized to design the adaptive output feedback controller consisting of: (1) an NN observer to estimate the system states and (2) two NNs to generate the virtual and actual control inputs, respectively. The non-causal problem encountered during the control design is overcome by using a dynamic NN which is constructed through a feedforward NN with a novel weight tuning law. The separation principle is relaxed, persistency of excitation condition (PE) is not needed and certainty equivalence principle is not used. The uniformly ultimate boundedness (UUB) of the closed-loop tracking error, the state estimation errors and the NN weight estimates is demonstrated. Though the proposed work is applicable for second order nonlinear discrete-time systems expressed in non-strict feedback form, the proposed controller design can be easily extendable to an nth order nonlinear discrete-time system.

The extended Luenberger observer for nonlinear systems

For nonlinear single-input single-output systems , the relationships for a state transformation into the nonlinear observer canonical form are developed. It is possible to dimension a nonlinear observer by an eigenvalue assignment without solving the nonlinear partial differential equations for the transformation, if the transformed nonlinearities are linearized about the reconstructed state. With reference to the extended Kalman filter algorithm, this nonlinear observer design is called the extended Luenberger observer.     

Circle-criterion approach to discrete-time nonlinear observer design

This paper addresses the design of discrete-time nonlinear observers through the circle criterion. The new design method is mainly devoted to either globally Lipschitz systems or bounded-state systems whose nonlinearities can be decomposed into a linear combination of positive-slope nonlinearities. The observer design is not restricted to systems with positive-slope nonlinearities, but it encompasses systems with non-positive-slope nonlinearities too. Stability conditions of the observation error are given in terms of numerically tractable linear matrix inequalities. Illustrative examples are presented in order to highlight the main features and advantages of the new proposed technique over some classical designs.

Remarks on linearization of discrete-time autonomous systems and nonlinear observer design

This paper presents necessary and sufficient conditions under which a discrete-time autonomous system with outputs is locally state equivalent to an observable linear system or a system in the nonlinear observer form (Krener and Isidori, 1983). In particular, an open problem raised in Lee and Nam (1991), namely the observer linearization problem, is solved for a nonlinear system which may not be invertible (i.e., the mapping f may not be a local diffeomorphism). As a consequence, the nonlinear observer design problem is solved by means of exact linearization techniques.     

On the transformation of nonlinear dynamical systems into the extended nonlinear observable canonical form

This article deals with the transformation of a class of nonlinear systems into an extended nonlinear observable canonical form (ENOCF) by dynamic extension. The dynamic extension is obtained by adding auxiliary dynamics and virtual outputs to the original system, thus giving rise to a higher dimensional system in an extended state space. Sufficient geometrical conditions to guarantee the existence of a local diffeomorphism which allow the transformation of the extended system into the ENOCF are given. In particular, an algorithm that permits us to compute such a diffeomorphism is derived.

Practical time-varying formation tracking for high-order nonlinear multi-agent systems based on the distributed extended state observer

Practical time-varying formation tracking analysis and design problems for high-order nonlinear multi-agent systems are investigated, where the time-varying formation tracking error is controlled within an arbitrarily small bound. The states of followers form a predefined time-varying formation while tracking the state of the leader with unknown control input. Besides, the dynamics of each agent has heterogeneous nonlinearity and disturbance. First, a distributed extended state observer is constructed to estimate the follower's nonlinearity and disturbance, and the leader's unknown control input simultaneously. A protocol based on the distributed extended state observer is proposed. Second, sufficient conditions for the multi-agent systems to achieve the practical time-varying formation tracking under the protocol are presented by using the Lyapunov stability theory. Third, an approach is derived to design the proposed protocol by solving a linear matrix inequality. Finally, numerical simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
