A robust reduced-order observers design approach for linear discrete periodic systems

Abstract

This paper investigates the problem of designing reduced-order observers for linear discrete-time periodic (LDP) systems. In case that the linear discrete-time periodic system is observable, an algebraic equivalent system is obtained by non-singular linear transformation, and the partial states to be observed are separated simultaneously. Then the considered problem is transformed into the problem of solving a class of periodic Sylvester matrix equation and an iterative algorithm for periodic reduced-order state observers design is derived. In addition, robust consideration based on periodic reduced-order state observers for LDP systems is also conducted. At last, one numerical example is worked out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
