Separation principle of delay perturbed singular systems

Abstract

In this paper, we establish a separation principle for a class of time-varying delay perturbed singular systems. Furthermore, we propose a singular observer to estimate the system states. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals, the practical stability of the proposed singular observer is achieved. These results are applied to show that a separation principle for perturbed singular systems can be obtained. Eventually, we provide a numerical example to verify the validity of the proposed results.
