Observability - Nonlinear Case

Nonlinear Case

Given the system, . Where the state vector, the input vector and the output vector. are to be smooth vectorfields.

Now define the observation space to be the space containing all repeated Lie derivatives. Now the system is observable in if and only if .

Note:

Early criteria for observability in nonlinear dynamic systems were discovered by Griffith and Kumar, Kou, Elliot and Tarn, and Singh.

Famous quotes containing the word case:

    “True and false are attributes of speech not of things. And where speech is not, there is neither truth nor falsehood. Error there may be, as when we expect that which shall not be; or suspect what has not been: but in neither case can a man be charged with untruth.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
