Nonlinear observers for locally uniformly observable systems
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 9 (2003), pp. 353-370.

This paper deals with the observability analysis and the observer synthesis of a class of nonlinear systems. In the single output case, it is known [4, 5, 6] that systems which are observable independently of the inputs, admit an observable canonical form. These systems are called uniformly observable systems. Moreover, a high gain observer for these systems can be designed on the basis of this canonical form. In this paper, we extend the above results to multi-output uniformly observable systems. Corresponding canonical forms are presented and sufficient conditions which permit the design of constant and high gain observers for these systems are given.
