“…In particular, when unknown inputs represent disturbances or the effects of system uncertainties, estimates can be used to improve the control system performance. In addition, when unknown inputs represent the effect of actuator failures, estimates can be used to implement fault-tolerant control, and thereby enhance system reliability [6] The reconstruction of unknown inputs under the assumption that the initial state of the system is either known or zero is addressed by left inversion, a long-studied problem in the systems literature [14,17,18,22,23]. In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions were obtained in [17,18,22,23] for the existence of a linear time-invariant dynamical system that, when cascaded with the original system, produces as its output the input to the original system.…”
