Abstract

For linear time-varying singularly perturbed systems (LTVSPS) with quasidifferentiable coefficients and a small parameter multiplying some derivatives, the problem of uniform observability is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the quasidifferentiability of the set of output functions independent of the small parameter are proved, observability matrices independent of the small parameter for the slow subsystem and the family of fast subsystems associated with the LTVSPS are constructed, and a connection is established between them and the observability matrix of the original system. On the basis of the complete decomposition of the original LTVSPS with respect to the action of the group of linear nonsingular transformations, we prove rank sufficient conditions for the uniform observability of the LTVSPS that are independent of the small parameter and valid for all sufficiently small values of it. The conditions are expressed in terms of the observability matrices of the slow subsystem and the family of fast subsystems of smaller dimensions than the original LTVSPS.
