Abstract

Observers for dynamical systems is an important issue, since it is quite difficult to deal with practical situations in which all states are perfectly known. In this work plan, we introduce different research topics concerning a fundamental aspect (stability) of observers for different classes of systems. Those topics present inherent theoretical interest and also practical applications. The topics will be addressed during the post-doc visit, as well as after that period. (AU)
