An Interval Observer for a Class of Cyber-Physical Systems with Disturbance

This paper investigates the problem of interval estimation for cyber-physical systems with unknown disturbance. In order to realize the interval estimation of cyber-physical systems, two technical methods are adopted. The first one requires the observer dynamic error system to be non-negative, and the second one relaxes this limitation by coordinate transformation. The sufficient conditions are established using both Lyapunov stability and positive system theory. Furthermore, according to the Schur complement, the linear matrix inequality is solved to determine the observer gains. Finally, the effectiveness and feasibility of the designed interval observer are verified by one numerical simulation.
