Abstract

This chapter introduces Part I which presents the most usual normal forms and their associated observers: the state-affine forms on the one hand and the triangular forms on the other hand. Some useful concepts such as the observability grammian are defined and the overall content of this part is presented through a global table.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The notation \(F(\xi ,u,y)\) is somehow abusive because y is not an input to the dynamics of \(\xi \). We should rather write \(F(\xi ,u,H(\xi ,u))\) as in (1.5), but this latter notation is less straight-forward. We thus decided to keep the former for clarity.

  2. 2.

    See for instance [2].
