Stable Interval Observers in C for Linear Systems With Time-Varying Input Bounds
This technical note deals with the design of stable interval observers and estimators for continuous-time linear dynamic systems under uncertain initial states and uncertain inputs enclosed within time-varying zonotopic bounds. No monotony assumption such as cooperativity is required in the vector field: the interval observer stability directly derives from the stability of the observer state matrix, where any poles (real or complex, single or multiple) are handled in the same way.
