In this paper, an observer for linear discrete systems with unknown inputs is presented. The suggested observer can estimate the system state vector and the unknown inputs simultaneously. As an extension of the observer, a new fault diagnosis observer for linear discrete systems with structured uncertainty is presented. The fault diagnosis observer can detect and identify the actuator and the sensor faults as well. The stability conditionsand the design methods of the each observers are presented and the usability of the observers is shown via numerical examples.

This paper deals with the unknown input observer (UIO) design problem for a class of linear time-delay systems. A case in which the observer error can completely be decoupled from an unknown input is treated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existences of such observers are present. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, thedesign of the observer with internal delay is formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). The design of the observer without internal delay is turned into a stabilization problem in linear systems. Two design algorithms of UIO are proposed. The effect of the proposed approach is illustrated by two numerical examples.

This paper presents a robust observer-based output feedback control for stabilization of linear time invariant systems with polytopic uncertainties. To this end, this paper not only finds a robust observer gain but also suggests how to determine the model used in the observer, which is not obvious due to model uncertainties in the conventional observer design method. The robust observer gain and the observer model are selected in a way that the whole closed-loop is stable by solving LMIs and BMIs (Linear Matrix Inequalities and Bilinear Matrix Inequalities). A simulation example shows that the proposed robust observer-based output feedback control successfully leads to closed-loop stability.

A novel observer design methodology for linear time-invariant systems named the dynamic observer is presented. Efficient and plausible design algorithms are also provided. The dynamic observer is an extension of the usual static observer. The concept of the dynamic observer enlarges the capacity of observer design so much that well-developed advanced linear controller design techniques can be utilized to design observers. Both the dynamic observers in the form of standard and Luenburger types are considered. The essential characteristics of the dynamic observer to be qualified as an effective observer design scheme are addressed.

A state feedback controller and an observer have been developed and analyzed for an aircraft's safe landing in the windshear called microburst. The observer estimates the ambient wind field as well as the full-order longitudinal state vector. The controller uses the wind and state estimates for guiding the control inputs for safe landing. For the observer and controller gains, the design methodologies of linear quadratic estimation and linear quadratic regulation have been exploited. Analysis shows that some of the microburst-induced aircraft accidents in the past might have been avoided with the designed autopilot.

In this paper, the well-conditioned observer for a stochastic system is designed so that the observer is less sensitive to the ill-conditioning factors in transient and steady-state observer performance. These factors include not only deterministic uncertainties such as unknown initial estimation error, round-off error, modeling error and sensing bias, but also stochastic uncertainties such as disturbance and sensor noise. In deterministic perspectives, a small value in the L$_{2}$ norm condition number of the observer eigenvector matrix guarantees robust estimation performance to the deterministic uncertainties. In stochastic viewpoints, the estimation variance represents the robustness to the stochastic uncertainties and its upper bound can be minimized by reducing the observer gain and increasing the decay rate. Both deterministic and stochastic issues are considered as a weighted sum with a LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality) formulation. The gain in the well-conditioned observer is optimally chosen by the optimization technique. Simulation examples are given to evaluate the estimation performance of the proposed observer.

This paper presents an observer-based chattering free robust optimal control scheme to regulate the total power of a nuclear reactor. The non-linear model of nuclear reactor is linearized around a steady state operating point to obtain a linear model for which an optimal second order integral sliding mode controller is designed. A second order integral sliding mode observer is also designed to estimate the unmeasurable states. In order to avoid the chattering effect, the discontinuous input of both observer and controller are designed using the super-twisting algorithm. The proposed controller is realized by combining an optimal linear tracking controller with a second order integral sliding mode controller to ensure minimum control effort and robustness of the closed-loop system in the presence of uncertainties. The condition for the selection of gains of discontinuous control based on the super-twisting algorithm is derived using a strict Lyapunov function. Performance of the proposed observer based control scheme is demonstrated through non-linear simulation studies.

The state variables estimated in an observer were useed in feedback control of a hydraulic servosystem to increase the system stability and to enhance the system performance. The nonlinear hydraulic servosystem with the inherent nonlinearities due to the square root function of flow equation, the Coulomb friction and so on, was modelled as a fourth order linear hydraulic servosystem. Also, a second order linear system was derived for the observer-controller design. For these models, a fourth order linear observer and a second order linear observer were constructed respectively to evaluate the performance of the observer-based hydraulic servosystem. The results obtained from series of simulation showed that the system which had shown oscillatory phenomenon under proportional control became stable with the same maximum acceleration and velocity that it had started under proportional control.

This paper presents a convex optimization method for observer-based mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ control design of linear systems with time-varying state, input and output delays. Delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the design of a desired observer-based control are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). An observer-based controller which guarantees asymptotic stability and a mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ performance for the closed-loop system of the linear system with time-varying delays is then developed. A Lyapunov-Krasovskii method underlies the observer-based mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ control design. A numerical example with simulation results illustrates the effectiveness of the methodology.

In order to overcome some problems of existing anti-windup methods, this paper defines LQ (Linear Quadratic) observer and proposes a new anti-windup method using the LQ observer. LQ observer is derived by linear quadratic optimization in order to calculate controller states, which make the controller outputs equal to the plant inputs. And we propose an algorithm so that it can be implemented by a digital controller easily. The relationship between the design parameters and the anti-windup performance is shown via some numerical examples, which cover the cases with the anti-windup method using LQ observer designed and the case without it. Finally, the anti-windup performance of the proposed method is exemplified via comparison with the existing model-based conditioning scheme method[4].
