  • Abstract
    In [8] it is conjectured that the minimal order observer is p = n - r_{1} , for a system with r1noise-free measurements, r2noisy measurements, and r = r_{1} + r_{2} . A proof of the existence of the minimal order observer with p = n - r_{1} is given in this note. Furthermore, it is shown that from this minimal order observer one can derive the familiar Luenberger observer and Kalman filter as two special cases.
