Summary
This chapter gives an overview of the “circle-criterion” design of nonlinear observers, initiated and further developed by the author in a series of papers. It summarizes these results in a concise and unified manner and illustrates them with physically motivated design examples from fuel cell power systems, ship control, and active magnetic bearing systems.
