Abstract This paper considers a method of designing func-
tional observers for continuous time nonlinear systems subject
to unknown inputs. The proposed approach consists in re-
writing the nonlinear model in a polytopic form (also known
as multiple or Takagi-Sugeno models) applying the Sector Non-
linearity Transformation (SNT) and then apply the proposed
algorithm for the observer design. Sufficient conditions for the
asymptotic stability of the estimation error are given in terms
of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and rank conditions.
An application to a quadrotor aerial robots landing is then
presented.

TL;DR: A mathematical tool to build a fuzzy model of a system where fuzzy implications and reasoning are used is presented and two applications of the method to industrial processes are discussed: a water cleaning process and a converter in a steel-making process.
Abstract: A mathematical tool to build a fuzzy model of a system where fuzzy implications and reasoning are used is presented. The premise of an implication is the description of fuzzy subspace of inputs and its consequence is a linear input-output relation. The method of identification of a system using its input-output data is then shown. Two applications of the method to industrial processes are also discussed: a water cleaning process and a converter in a steel-making process.

TL;DR: Fuzzy Control Systems Design and Analysis offers an advanced treatment of fuzzy control that makes a useful reference for researchers and a reliable text for advanced graduate students in the field.
Abstract: From the Publisher: A comprehensive treatment of model-based fuzzy control systems This volume offers full coverage of the systematic framework for the stability and design of nonlinear fuzzy control systems. Building on the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model, authors Tanaka and Wang address a number of important issues in fuzzy control systems, including stability analysis, systematic design procedures, incorporation of performance specifications, numerical implementations, and practical applications. Issues that have not been fully treated in existing texts, such as stability analysis, systematic design, and performance analysis, are crucial to the validity and applicability of fuzzy control methodology. Fuzzy Control Systems Design and Analysis addresses these issues in the framework of parallel distributed compensation, a controller structure devised in accordance with the fuzzy model. This balanced treatment features an overview of fuzzy control, modeling, and stability analysis, as well as a section on the use of linear matrix inequalities (LMI) as an approach to fuzzy design and control. It also covers advanced topics in model-based fuzzy control systems, including modeling and control of chaotic systems. Later sections offer practical examples in the form of detailed theoretical and experimental studies of fuzzy control in robotic systems and a discussion of future directions in the field. Fuzzy Control Systems Design and Analysis offers an advanced treatment of fuzzy control that makes a useful reference for researchers and a reliable text for advanced graduate students in the field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the identity observer, a reduced-order observer, linear functional observers, stability properties, and dual observers are discussed, along with the special topics of identity observer and reduced order observer.
Abstract: Observers which approximately reconstruct missing state-variable information necessary for control are presented in an introductory manner. The special topics of the identity observer, a reduced-order observer, linear functional observers, stability properties, and dual observers are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, an observer for nonlinear systems is constructed under rather general technical assumptions (the fact that some functions are globally Lipschitz) and a tentative application to biological systems is described.
Abstract: An observer for nonlinear systems is constructed under rather general technical assumptions (the fact that some functions are globally Lipschitz). This observer works either for autonomous systems or for nonlinear systems that are observable for any input. A tentative application to biological systems is described. >
