Abstract
Designing observers for dynamical systems plays an important role in the modern control theory due to the lack of full information in measured outputs. The current paper proposes a sliding mode observer for a general class of Lur’e systems subject to uncertainties where feedbacks involve time-dependent set-valued mappings. To the best of our knowledge, sliding mode observers for set-valued Lur’e systems, even for the simple static case, have not been considered in the literature. Exponential convergence of the observer state and finite-time convergence of the output estimation error are guaranteed without using any linear transformations. In addition, our design can also deduce \(H^\infty \) observers.
