Interval observers for linear functions of state vectors of linear fractional‐order systems with delayed input and delayed output

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of interval observer design for linear functions of state vectors of linear fractional-order systems, which are subjected to time delays in the measured output as well as the control input. By using the information of both the delayed output and input, we design two linear functional state observers to compute two estimates, an upper one and a lower one, which bound the unmeasured linear functions of state vectors. As a particular case with output delay only, we design a linear functional state observer to estimate (asymptotically) the unmeasured linear functions of state vectors. Existence conditions of such observers are provided, and some of them are translated into a linear programming problem, in which the observers' matrices can be effectively computed. Constructive design algorithms are introduced. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the design procedure, practicality, and effectiveness of the proposed design method.

Stability analysis and robust synchronization of fractional‐order competitive neural networks with different time scales and impulsive perturbations

“…Conversely, assume that [x(t), y(t)] satisfies the hypothesis of the fractional-order integral Equation (28). If t ∈ [0, t 1 ], then by using the fact that  is left inverse of  , we obtain Equation (29). If t ∈ (t , t +1 ], = 1, 2, … p and then using the fact of the Caputo derivative of constant is equal to zero, it yields that…”

“…Compared with an integer-order dynamical model, fractional-order dynamical model is more accurate, nonlocal, and has weakly singular kernels but integer-order dynamical behavior fails in this aspect. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34] So, dynamical behavior of the fractional-order systems based on fractional-order calculation is very significant, and some excellent results have been demonstrated. [35][36][37] The further study of fractional derivatives is needed to an essential issue of its widespread application in the stability, stabilization, Chao's synchronization, control theory, etc.…”

Secure interval estimations for time‐varying delay interconnected systems using novel distributed functional observers

“…The problem of designing interval observers for state vectors of dynamical systems is very important since there are cases where traditional state observers do not exist (see, e.g., References 16 and 17). In recent years, many results on this problem have been obtained in the literature (see, e.g., References 18‐26). However, to the best of our knowledge, there is limited research on the design of interval observers for systems that are under the attack 27‐29 .…”

Finite‐time functional interval observer for linear systems with uncertainties

“…Besides, an IO is constructed in [13] using the D‐similar transformation proposed in the earlier works of Zhu and Johnson [14] for time‐varying systems. For the simplified design, the reduced order and functional IOs are, respectively, considered for linear discrete [15] and continuous‐time systems [16–18]. As the complexity of the system under observation increases, the IO has been further developed in complex systems with not only unknown uncertainty but also complicated characteristics, such as switched [19], singular [20, 21], partially linear [22], or fuzzy systems [23].…”
