Locally convergent nonlinear observers
101.pdf (230.7Kb)Abstract
We introduce a new method for the design of observers for nonlinear systems using backstepping. The method is applicable to a class of nonlinear systems slighter larger than those
treated by Gauthier, Hammouri, and Othman [IEEE Trans. Automat. Control, 27 (1992), pp. 875ﾖ880]. They presented an observer design method that is globally convergent using high gain. In
contrast to theirs, our observer is not high gain, but it is only locally convergent. If the initial estimation error is not too large, then the estimation error goes to zero exponentially. A design
algorithm is presented.
