A technique for using H2 and H∞ robust state estimation on nonlinear systems

This paper describes a technique for using robust linear estimation on nonlinear systems. This technique provides a means for linearizing the nonlinear system in such a way as to not limit the large signal behavior of the target system. The nonlinearity in the target system must be able to be represented as a piecewise linear function. Furthermore, the H
₂
and H
_infin
robust estimation techniques will be compared to each other for a sample nonlinear system.
