Study and application of state estimator for time-delay systems with state saturation nonlinearities (Q1666411)

Summary: The design and application of state estimator for a class of time-delay systems with state saturation nonlinearities are firstly explored. Based on the Lyapunov-Razumikhin functions, delay-dependent sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the error between the state estimate and the true state. Besides, an upper bound of arbitrary time-varying delays is derived to assure that the resulting error can converge asymptotically to zero. Finally, applications to the secure communication and simulation results are given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the main results.
