Preface

In many practical situations, the physical state of a system cannot be determined by direct observation. The problem of constructing the state vector and functions of the state vector is one of the important topics in Control Engineering. Since the re-emergence of the state-space methods to form a direct multivariable approach to linear control systems synthesis and design, a host of controllers now exist to meet the qualitative and quantitative criteria including system stability and optimality, and often the control signals are linear functions of the system states. Linear Functional Observers estimate linear functions of the state vector of a system without needing to estimate all the individual states and so greatly reduce the order and complexity of the designed observers. There has been a considerable amount of research carried out on the subject of functional state estimation for well over four decades ever since D.G. Luenberger introduced the concept in 1966. Due to their potential to reduce the complexity and cost for control systems, there has been a considerable interest in the
