“…In this paper, we address the control of a class of hybrid systems with switching linear dynamic equations depending on a discrete state, called mode, which is not fully accessible. For such systems, a novel observer-based control scheme is presented that is based a Luenberger observer and a mode predictor to estimate the continuous and discrete states, respectively, There exist many systems that result from the combination of smooth continuous dynamics and sudden switches (see, among others, [5,13,9,17,18]). Switching is modelled by means of hybrid automata with a discrete state that usually represents a specific operation mode of the plant.…”
