“…Additional design problems, such as unobservable states, can be minimized using state vector estimation or predictors (see, e.g., Pai, 2008;Wang et al, 2011). In addition, it is known that for discrete time systems (Soroush and Kravaris, 1992) delays only modify the relative degree of the state space dynamics. Thus, time delay compensation can be made using some additional scheme such as the one proposed by Sira-Ramírez (1991).…”
