Robust Positive Interval Observers for Uncertain Positive Systems

Abstract This paper presents an approach for the estimation of uncertain linear positive systems, based on interval observers. The provided conditions for the existence of robust interval positive observers are expressed in terms of LP. Also, it is shown that the design of tight interval positive observers can be done by minimizing an adequate bound on the steady state of the interval error. An illustrative example is given.
