This paper aims to develop a continuous-discrete finite memory observer (CD-FMO) for a class of nonlinear dynamical systems modeled by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with discrete measurements. The nonlinear systems under consideration are at least locally Lipschitz, which guarantees the existence and uniqueness of solution at each time instant. The proposed nonlinear observer uses a finite number of collected measurements to estimate the system state in the presence of measurement noise. Besides, a one-step prediction algorithm incorporated with an iterative-update scheme is performed to solve the integral problem caused by system nonlinearity, and an analysis of the numerical integration approximation error is given. The properties of estimation performance have been further proved in deterministic case and been analyzed by Monte Carlo simulation in stochastic cases. It is worth noting that the presented method has a finite-time convergence, while most nonlinear observers are usually asymptotically convergent. Another advantage of CD-FMO is that it has no initial value problem. For the application purpose, residuals are generated to implement fault detection cooperated with Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) control charts, while a bank of CD-FMOs is adopted to realize fault isolation for different sensor and actuator faults of the considered nonlinear robotic arm. The robustness and effectiveness of the proposed approach are illustrated via the simulation results.

This paper addresses the projective synchronization (PS) of the complex modified Van der Pol-Duffing (MVDPD for short) chaotic oscillator by using the nonlinear observer control and also discusses its applications to secure communication in theory. First, we construct the complex MVDPD oscillator and analysis its chaotic behavior. Moreover, an observer design method is applied to achieve PS of two identical MVDPD chaotic oscillators with complex offset terms, which are synchronized to the desired scale factor. The unpredictability of the scaling factor could further enhance the security of the communication. Finally, numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed synchronization approach and also verify the success application to the proposed scheme’s in the secure communication.

This paper develops a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy observer gain design algorithm to estimate ship motion based on Automatic Identification System (AIS) data. Nowadays, AIS data is widely applied in the maritime field. To solve the problem of safety, it is necessary to accurately estimate the trajectory of ships. Firstly, a nonlinear ship dynamic system is considered to represent the dynamic behaviors of ships. In the literature, nonlinear observer design methods have been studied to estimate the ship path based on AIS data. However, the nonlinear observer design method is challenging to create directly since some dynamic ship systems are more complex. This paper represents nonlinear ship dynamic systems by the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model. Based on the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model, a fuzzy observer design method is developed to solve the problem of estimating using AIS data. Moreover, the observer gains of the fuzzy observer can be adjusted systemically by a novel algorithm. Via the proposed algorithm, a more suitable or better observer can be obtained to achieve the objectives of estimation. Corresponding to different AIS data, the better results can also be obtained individually. Finally, the simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed fuzzy observer design method. Some comparisons with the previous nonlinear observer design method are also given in the simulations.

In this paper, a novel method for the design of robust nonlinear observer in the [Formula: see text] framework for Lipschitz nonlinear systems is proposed. For this purpose, a new dynamical structure is introduced that ensures the stability of observer error dynamics. Design innovation is the use of dynamic gain in the sliding mode observer. The additional degree of freedom provided by this dynamic formulation is exploited to deal with the nonlinear term. The performance of this stable [Formula: see text] observer is better than conventional static gain observers and the dynamic Luenberger observer. The compensator is designed in such a way that, while ensuring the stability of the closed-loop system, it prevents performance loss in the presence of the nonlinearities. By the proposed approach, the observer is robust to nonlinear uncertainties because of increasing the Lipschitz constant. Also, the design procedure in the presence of system and measurement noises is addressed. Finally, the simulation of our methodology is conducted on a nonlinear system to illustrate the advantage of this work in comparison with other observers.

Abstract Predictive maintenance is rapidly becoming a familiar concept in industrial fault detection. The ability to detect early warning signals in systems in the form of small changes in dynamic behavior is essential to anticipate failures. In general, accurate system models are an essential part of residual based fault detection. However, in complex nonlinear systems, the development of accurate models can be very difficult, thus usually other approaches are often selected. As an alternative to the nonlinear analytical models, neural networks have shown significant potential in accurately representing nonlinear systems. In this paper we show how a system identified by a neural network, and a nonlinear observer can be used to detect changes in system dynamics. The neural network structure and identification have a significant impact on the observer performance. Different methods for observer design, and appropriate neural network structures for fault detection are discussed. The experimental section shows the observer implemented on a thermo fluid system. Several faults are introduced, and the observer prediction is compared to actual data.

This paper discusses optimal and robust observer design for the Lipschitz nonlinear systems. The stability analysis for the Lure problem is first reviewed. Then, a two-DOF nonlinear observer is proposed so that the observer error dynamic model can be transformed to an equivalent Lure system. In this framework, the difference of the nonlinear parts in the vector fields of the original system and observer is modeled as a nonlinear memoryless block that is covered by a multivariable sector condition or an equivalent semi-algebraic set defined by a quadratic polynomial inequality. Then, a sufficient condition for asymptotic stability of the observer error dynamics is formulated in terms of the feasibility of polynomial matrix inequalities (PMIs), which can be solved by Lasserre’s moment relaxation. Furthermore, various quadratic performance criteria, such as H2 and H∞, can be easily incorporated in this framework. Finally, a parameter adaptation algorithm is introduced to cope with the parameter uncertainty.

Abstract A design method is proposed for a nonlinear disturbance observer based on the notion of passivity. As an initial application, we consider here systems whose structure comprises a set of integrator cascades, though the proposed approach can be extended to a larger class of systems. We describe an explicit procedure to choose the output of the system and to design the nonlinear feedback law used by the observer, provided the system satisfies a sufficient condition for output feedback semi-passification. The output injection term in the observer scales the measurement residual with a nonlinear gain that depends on the output and a set of static design parameters. We provide guidance for parameter tuning such that the disturbance tracking performance and the transient response of the estimation error can be intuitively adjusted. Example applications to two nonlinear mechanical systems illustrate that the proposed nonlinear observer design method is quite effective, producing an observer that can estimate a wide range of disturbances without any need to know or assume the disturbance dynamics.
