Download or read book Nonlinear Observers and Applications written by Gildas Besançon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-10-11 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this fantastically useful book is to lay out an overview on possible tools for state reconstruction in nonlinear systems. Here, basic observability notions and observer structures are recalled, together with ingredients for advanced designs on this basis. The problem of state reconstruction in dynamical systems, known as observer problem, is crucial for controlling or even merely monitoring processes. For linear systems, the theory has been well established for several years, so this book attempts to tackle the problem for non-linear systems.
