Fault Estimation Method for Nonlinear Systems With Perturbations Based on Augmented Fault Observer by Yanxiu Sun, Ying Du, Yuping Zhang

“…Specifically, a singular system is constructed by combining the state vector of the system with the fault vector of the sensor, and an augmented fault observer is designed by combining the fault estimation algorithm of the adaptive actuator. First, an augmented fault observer for linear systems with perturbations is designed, and the sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the observation error system are ascertained so that the state of the singular system can be observed. …”
