Control of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems, which estimates unavailable state variables, is considered. A new approach for robust tracking control problem of satellite for large rotational maneuvers is presented in this paper. The features of this approach include a strong algorithm to estimate attitude, based on discrete extended Kalman filter combined with a continuous extended Kalman ...

A state feedback control method for an interleaved boost power converter is designed, which, in turn, can achieve interleaved current sharing among parallel-connected converters. The state feedback control in the continuous time domain is derived using the pole placement technique and linear quadratic optimal method. The load estimator is designed by deriving a full-order state observer to ensu...

This paper addresses the problem of finite-time H∞ control via observer-based state feedback for a family of singular Markovian jump systems SMJSs with time-varying norm-bounded disturbance. Firstly, the concepts of singular stochastic finite-time boundedness and singular stochastic finite-time H∞ stabilization via observer-based state feedback are given. Then an observer-based state feedback c...

In this brief, we propose an observer-based iterative learning control (ILC) scheme for the tracking problem of a class of time-varying nonlinear systems. First, a state observer is derived for the system under consideration, and sufficient conditions for the boundedness and the convergence to zero of the estimation error are given. Thereafter, an iterative learning rule—based on the proposed s...

In this paper it is proposed a novel Lyapunov based design of a generalized SuperTwisting Observer for a class of 2-dimensional nonlinear system. The observer can deal with systems whose states are composed of bounded nonlineaer functions.This is the main difference with the classical Super-Twisting observer, in which the second state is only the derivative of the first state. Working with a St...

Estimation of 3D position information from 2D images in computer vision systems can be formulated as a state estimation problem for a nonlinear perspective dynamic system. The multi-output state estimation problem has been treated by several authors using methods for nonlinear observer design. This paper shows that a perspective system can be transformed to two observer forms, and provides cons...

State observer is an essential component in computerized control loops for greenhouse-crop systems. However, the current accomplishments of observer modeling for greenhouse-crop systems mainly focus on mass/energy balance, ignoring physiological responses of crops. As a result, state observers for crop physiological responses are rarely developed, and control operations are typically made based...

This paper formulates a bilinear observer for a bilinear state-space model. Relationship between the bilinear observer gains and the interaction matrices are established and used in the design of such observer gains from input-output data. In the absence of noise, the question of whether a deadbeat bilinear observer exists that would cause the state estimation error to converge to zero identica...
