Interval sliding mode observer design for linear and nonlinear systems.

In this paper, an interval sliding mode observer design method for uncertain systems is proposed. Uncertainty is assumed between a known minimum value and a maximum value. The observer is then constructed via a convex weighted sum of an upper estimator corresponding to the maximum value of the uncertainty and a lower estimator corresponding to the minimum value of the uncertainty. The weighting factor is calculated at each time, from the different measured outputs and the bounds of the interval of the estimator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
