This paper investigates the online estimation of neural activity within the primary visual cortex (V1) in the framework of observability theory. We focus on a low-dimensional neural fields modeling hypercolumnar activity to describe activity in V1. We utilize the average cortical activity over V1 as measurement. Our contributions include detailing the model's observability singularities and developing a hybrid high-gain observer that achieves, under specific excitation conditions, practical convergence while maintaining asymptotic convergence in cases of biological relevance. The study emphasizes the intrinsic link between the model's nonlinear nature and its observability. We also present numerical experiments highlighting the different properties of the observer.

On-line differentiation of (differentiable) signals is a central task in many engineering areas. Levant's exact and robust differentiator is unique in the sense that it provides in finite-time the exact values of the derivatives of a signal with its n-th derivative bounded. We propose here an alternative realization of this differentiator, by interconnecting low-order homogeneous differentiators that cooperate to supply in finite time and also exactly and robustly all derivatives of the signal. The proposed algorithm has a higher dimension than the original differentiator, and this extra dynamics seems to act as a noise filter. The result is illustrated by some simulations and the proof uses a novel Lyapunov function. Copyright (C) 2021 The Authors.

Given a (differentiable) signal it is an important task for many applications to estimate on line its derivatives. Some well known algorithms to solve this problem include the (continuous) high-gain observers and (discontinuous) Levants exact differentiators. In this work we present a family of homogeneous differentiators, encompassing these two algorithms, and we propose a unified smooth Lyapunov function, that allows a common framework to study their convergence and performance analysis.

In this note, global stabilization by output feedback is investigated for a class of non-minimum-phase nonlinear systems previously considered by Marino and Tomei (2005). It is shown that it is possible to construct, via a new design method that involves no filter transformation, a globally stabilizing dynamic output feedback controller of order n , instead of n + 2( ρ — 1), for the non-minimum phase nonlinear system in output feedback form Marino and Tomei (2005), under a slightly general condition (i.e., Assumption 2.2) together with the assumption that the nonlinear system is non-minimum-phase with respect to the original output, but minimum-phase with respect to a virtual linear output. Two examples are given to illustrate the simplicity of the new design approach and its effectiveness.

This paper presents a simple setup for ocean current estimation that offers globally asymptotically stable (GAS) error dynamics. In the proposed scenario, the underwater vehicle has only access to limited relative velocity readings, along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, in addition to position measurements. The observability of the system is analyzed and necessary and sufficient conditions, with physical meaning, are derived, hence useful for motion planning and control. A Kalman filter, with GAS error dynamics, is implemented as a solution to the estimation problem and simulation results are included that illustrate the performance of the proposed solution.

This paper presents a novel Long Baseline (LBL) position and velocity navigation filter for underwater vehicles based directly on the sensor measurements. The solution departs from previous approaches as the range measurements are explicitly embedded in the filter design, therefore avoiding inversion algorithms. Moreover, the nonlinear system dynamics are considered to their full extent and no linearizations are carried out whatsoever. The filter error dynamics are globally asymptotically stable (GAS) and it is shown, under simulation environment, that the filter achieves similar performance to the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and outperforms linear position and velocity filters based on algebraic estimates of the position obtained from the range measurements.

For an unforced nonlinear single output system, we propose a new approach to observer error linearization called reduced-order dynamic observer error linearization (RDOEL), which is a modified version of dynamic observer error linearization (DOEL). While RDOEL also has an auxiliary dynamics and a generalized output injection like DOEL, it offers a lower dimensional observer than DOEL, and allows a complete constructive algorithm in contrast to DOEL when the auxiliary dynamics is a chain of integrators. For RDOEL whose auxiliary dynamics is a chain of integrators (RDOELI), we provide a complete constructive algorithm which presents not only a coordinate transformation between the original system and a nonlinear observer canonical form, but also the minimum number of integrators needed to perform RDOELI. Moreover, we show that if the original system is of dimension n , then the minimum number of integrators is less than or equal to n –- 2. In order to describe our algorithm well, we present an example that the auxiliary dynamics is a chain of two integrators.
