EXPONENTIAL OBSERVER FOR A CLASS OF NONLINEAR DISTRIBUTED PARAMETER SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATION TO A NONISOTHERMAL TUBULAR REACTOR

摘要

This paper present sufficient conditions to construct an exponential state estimator for a class of infinite dimensional non-linear systems driven in a real Hilbert state description. The theory is applied to a non-isothermal plug flow tubular reactor, governed by hyperbolic first order partial differential equations. For this application performance issues of the exponential state estimator design are illustrated in a simulation study.
