Abstract:
The observability of nonlinear systems was considered in this note. First, we reviewed the definitions and relations of observable, locally observable, weakly observable, locally weakly observable, uniformly locally weakly observable and completely uniformly locally weakly observable. Then, a sufficient condition under which a multi-output nonlinear system is completely uniformly locally weakly observable was given. The sufficient condition becomes necessary and sufficient condition when the system is single-output. We also gave a canonical form of these multi-output systems. In the end, an example illustrated how to use the given sufficient conditions to determine whether a nonlinear system is completely uniformly locally weakly observable.Keywords:

This paper presents a new method for rapid transfer alignment of strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS). It adopts the concept of local observability in the first time to rapid transfer alignment for analyzing the observability of SINS. The simplified system state and observation models are established for analyzing the observability of the SINS attitude error. Based on the simplified models, the observability matrix is constructed to determine the local observability of SINS. The condition number of the matrix is introduced to measure the observability degree during the process of maneuver alignment. Simulation experiments and comparison analysis have been conducted, demonstrating that the proposed method cannot only effectively measure the local observability of SINS, but it can also enhance the performance of SINS rapid transfer alignment with improved observability and reduced alignment time.

This paper deals with observability quadratic normal forms for linearly observable systems. Particularly, we associated to a linearly observable system a list of computable numbers which characterize its quadratic normal form. Throughout the paper, we give examples to highlight our purpose.

This paper first formalises a new observability concept, called weak regular observability, that is adapted to Fast Moving Horizon Estimation where one aims to estimate the state of a nonlinear system efficiently on rolling time windows in the case of small initial error. Additionally, sufficient conditions of weak regular observability are provided in a problem of Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) for different measurement models. In particular it is shown that following circular trajectories leads to weak regular observability in a second order 2D SLAM problem with several possible types of sensors.

We tackle the observability and detectability problems of a sort of non-commensurate time-delayed linear systems. We give some conditions under which the system can be put into an observability form, that is the system is decomposed into what we call its observable and unobservable parts. Based on concrete definitions of observability and detectability, we use the observability form to derive observability and detectability conditions.

The concept of observability of linear nonstationary systems with multiple delays is discussed and conditions for observability are established. An algebraic criterion for the observability of such systems is developed which depends only on the system's coefficient matrices and not on its solution. The criterion is shown to reduce to the existing criteria for the observability of nondelay systems.

This paper investigates observability of Boolean control networks (BCNs) and gives some novel criteria on observability. Firstly, the observability, the strong observability and the super-strong observability are discussed via the augmented approach which converts the observability problem into corresponding reachability of a constructed logical control system and is effective to reveal that these three types of observability can be determined in finite time. Subsequently, by constructing sequences of matrix sets, a non-augmented approach is presented to testify observability of BCNs. Finally, an example is worked out to illustrate the obtained results.

The general observability theory of linear time-varying systems was introduced. Definitions of local observability and local observability matrix were further made, accordingly. In order to test the observability of a system, a local observability criterion for linear time-varying systems was derived. Moreover, the degree of observability was formulated based on Kalman observability theory in order to know how state-variables are observed. The application of proposed observability analysis methods to integrated navigation systems showed that the degree of observability of velocity errors is better than that of misalignment angles and even better than that of drift rates; the normalized degree of observability may serve as a quantitative criterion for information fusion of navigation sensors.
