Abstract

This paper presents a characterization of observability and an observer design method for a class of hybrid systems. A necessary and sufficient condition is presented for observability, globally in time, when the system evolves under predetermined mode transitions. A relatively weaker characterization is given for determinability, the property that concerns with recovery of the original state at some time rather than at all times. These conditions are then utilized in the construction of a hybrid observer that is feasible for implementation in practice. The observer, without using the derivatives of the output, generates the state estimate that converges to the actual state under persistent switching.
