Abstract

In this work a non-linear, model-based state observer is developed. Dynamics of the system described by a distributed parameter, partial differential equations model. Forward and backward discretization of the model to take advantage of the boundary conditions. Simulation results are presented to show the performance of the observer. Comparison between the linear and nonlinear approaches of the observers.
