Observer design for a class of nonlinear discrete time systems

Abstract

This paper focuses in the observer design for non-linear discrete time systems. The main objective is the application of the Differential Mean Value Theorem (DMVT) to transform the nonlinear dynamics error to a linear parameter varying (LPV) system. This aims to introduce a less restrictive condition on the nonlinear functions. To ensure asymptotic stability, sufficient conditions are formulated in Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). For comparison, an observer based on the utilization of the One-Sided Lipschitz condition is introduced. High performances are shown through numerical simulation.
