By continuous-discrete time affine systems, we mean continuous dynamical systems with discrete-time output measurements. The observability of this class of systems depends on the system inputs and on the output sampling time. In this context, we give sufficient conditions on both output sampling time and system input, which allow to preserve the observability of the system and consequently, guarantee the convergence of the continuous-discrete time observer synthesized in this paper.In order to validate the theoretical results, the performance of the proposed observer is illustrated through an example dealing with biomass growth and bio-synthesis reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
