A robust state observer scheme

This note proposes a new approach to robust state observer construction. The scheme is derived by including an extra term and adopting the Lyapunov stability theorem, and requires the solution of an algebraic Riccati equation. The scheme is implemented in a gas-fired furnace system example. Satisfactory results have been obtained, though in general special attention need be paid to some numerical issues in implementing the scheme.
