Abstract :
This paper investigates the possibility of using smooth maps with continuous inverses (which are called semi-diffeomorphisms) for the study of observability and observer design for nonlinear smooth systems. A method is proposed for the design of continuous observers for uniformly observable nonlinear systems. The results obtained also include systems that are not covered by all previous results on smooth nonlinear observers.
