Abstract

An approach based on optimization is described to construct state estimators that provide a stable dynamics of the estimation error and minimize a L_p measure of the estimation error. The state estimator depends on an innovation function made up of two terms: a linear gain and a feedforward neural network. The gain and the weights of the neural network can be chosen in such way to ensure the convergence of the estimation error and minimize the L_p performance index, after a suitable discretization of the state and error space. Simulation results are reported.
