Interval multiobserver for feedback control of discrete time nonlinear systems.

In this paper, an interval multiobserver is designed for nonlinear systems subject to unknown but bounded disturbances and measurement noises. The behavior of discrete nonlinear systems is described by an uncoupled multimodel. Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) are formulated to study the stability of the proposed systems and to ensure the cooperativity dynamic of the observation errors. An augmented system is introduced to apply a tracking control where the control gains are obtained by pole placement. Finally, a numerical example is proposed to verify the efficiency of the interval multiobserver in state estimation and to prove the performance of the control strategy to follow the desired trajectory.
