In this paper, we design a novel observer for a class of semilinear heat 1D equations under the delayed and sampled point measurements. The main novelty is that the delay is arbitrary. To handle any arbitrary delay, the observer is constituted of a chain of sub-observers. Each sub-observer handles a fraction of the considered delay. The resulting estimation error system is shown to be exponentially stable under a sufficient number of sub-observers is used. The stability analysis is based on a specific Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the stability conditions are expressed in terms of LMIs.
An observer is designed for a class of nonlinear parabolic PDEs with delayed point measurements. The novelty lies is that the delay size is arbitrary. To compensate for this arbitrary delay effect, the observer consists of several chained sub-observers. Each sub-observer compensates a fraction of the global delay. The resulting estimation error system is shown to be exponentially stable provided that a sufficient number of sub-observers is used. The stability analysis is based on a specific Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the stability conditions are expressed in terms of LMIs.
