Functional interval observer design for singular fractional-order systems with disturbances

Abstract

In this study, we consider the problem of designing functional interval observers for a class of singular fractional-order systems. The goal of this work is to design not a full state interval observer for singular fractional-order systems, but to design an observer for state functions of this kind of systems. Conditions for the existence of such functional interval observers are given and an effective algorithm for computing unknown observer matrices is provided in this study. Two numerical examples and simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
