“…In the literature, various methods on state observers for time-delay systems have been primarily for systems where their output measurements are not subjected to time delays (see, for example, Boutayeb, 2001; Chen and Patton, 1999; Darouach, 2001; Fairman and Kumar, 1986; Ge et al, 2014; Huong and Trinh, 2015; Nam et al, 2014; Park, 2004; Park et al, 2008; Park and Kwon, 2009; Trinh, 1999; Zhao and Wang, 2014). However, in many practical systems, output measurements are normally subjected to time delays (see, for example, Chen and Wang, 2014; Ha et al, 2014; Hua et al, 2015; Li et al, 2014; Su et al, 2014; Trinh and Fernando, 2012; Yan et al, 2010; Zhong et al, 2013 and the references therein). Therefore, it is important to consider the state estimation problem of a wider class of time-delay systems where time delays occur not only in the state vector but also in the output vector.…”
