Semi-global observer for multi-output nonlinear systems. (English) Zbl 0985.93006

Summary: We present an explicit form of nonlinear observers for a class of multi-input multi-output systems. Observer construction for multi-output nonlinear systems is not a trivial extension of the single output case, especially when the global error convergence is of interest. In this paper, we consider a class of systems in which the subsystem for each output has a triangular dependence on the states of that subsystem itself, and the overall system has a block triangular form for each subsystem. Hence, the contribution is to extend the results existing in the literature when such interconnections between the subsystems are allowed. The construction is based on the saturation of some estimates, which originated with Khalil and Esfandiari for the use of semi-global output feedback control.
