Abstract
This paper considers the synchronization and unknown input recovery problem for a class of digital nonlinear systems based on a nonlinear observer approach. A generalized Luenberger-like observer is introduced for a class of discrete-time Lipschitz nonlinear systems. Stability conditions for the existence of asymptotic observers are established in terms of some linear matrix inequalities. It is shown that the proposed conditions are less conservative than some existing ones in the recent literature. Moreover, an observer design method is used to address the problem of H ∞ synchronization and unknown input recovery for a class of Lipschitz nonlinear systems in the presence of disturbances in both the state and output equations. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design.
