Abstract:
For a linear time-varying singularly perturbed system with a small parameter μ for a part of derivatives and quasi-differentiable coefficients, existence conditions are established and μ-asymptotic composite full- and reduced-order observers are constructed. The error in estimating a state with an arbitrary predetermined exponential decay rate converges to an infinitesimal value of the same order of smallness as the small parameter. The observer gain vector are expressed in terms of the gain vectors of subsystems of smaller dimension than the original one and independent of the small parameter, and the parameters of the original system are subject to weaker requirements than those previously known. A constructive algorithm for calculating the gain vector of a composite observer is presented.
