Observer with sample-and-hold updating for Lipschitz nonlinear systems with nonuniformly sampled measurements

摘要

This paper presents a new observer design for Lipschitz nonlinear continuous-time systems with nonuniformly sampled measurements. Based on recent results in sampled-data control of linear continuous-time systems, linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions are established to guarantee global stability of the estimation error dynamics and to design the observer matrix. The applicability of the proposed observer is demonstrated via two examples, that are the flexible joint robotic arm and Chua's circuit.
