This paper considers the observability of nonlinear systems from a Koopman operator theoretic perspective--and in particular--the effect of symmetry on observability. We first examine an infinite-dimensional linear system (constructed using…
This paper presents a deterministic hybrid observer for the attitude dynamics of a rigid body that guarantees global asymptotical stability. Any smooth attitude observer suffers from the inherent topological restriction that it is…
Nonlinear observer design for systems whose state space evolves on Lie groups is considered. The proposed method is similar to previously developed nonlinear observers in that it involves propagating the state estimate using a process model…

We define an uncertainty observable, acting on several replicas of a continuous-variable bosonic state, whose trivial uncertainty lower bound induces nontrivial phase-space uncertainty relations for a single copy of the state. By exploiting…
Designing observers for linear systems with both known and unknown inputs is an important problem in several research contexts, for example, fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control, and cyber-secure control systems, and presents…

The paper deals with the observer design problem for a wide class of triangular time-varying nonlinear systems, with unobservable linearization. Sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of a Luenberger-type observer, when it is a…
The main objective of this paper is to propose an alternative procedure to carry out one of the key steps of immersion and invariance stabilising controller design. Namely, the one that ensures attractivity of the manifold whose internal…
