| contents | This paper considers state estimation for general nonlinear discrete-time systems subject to measurement noise and possibly unbounded unknown inputs. To approach this problem, we first propose the concept of strong nonlinear detectability. This condition is sufficient and necessary for the existence of unknown input state estimators (UISEs), which reconstruct states from noisy sampled measurements and yield bounded estimation error even for unbounded unknown inputs. Based on the proposed detectability notion, a UISE is designed via a moving horizon estimation strategy using a full-order model as well as past and current measurements. Next, we tighten this detectability notion to design a two-stage MHE-based UISE, which is computationally more efficient than the MHE-based UISE using full-order models. In a simulation example with a plant growth process, both variants of MHE-based UISEs are compared with a conventional MHE to illustrate the merits of the developed methods. |
