Nonlinear Observer for Estimation of Metal Analysis in Steel Converters

Abstract A nonlinear observer whose feedback is weighted by the sensitivity of the output with respect to the state is considered. Conditions for asymptotic stability as well as a region of attraction of the estimation error equation are derived. The results are applied to the problem of metal analysis estimation in a steel converter process.
