Abstract:

We present a method for designing robust, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD)-based, low-order observers for a class of spectral infinite-dimensional nonlinear systems. Robustness to bounded model uncertainties is incorporated using the Lyapunov reconstruction approach from robust control theory. Furthermore, the proposed methodology includes a data-driven learning algorithm that auto-tunes the observer gains to optimize the performance of the state estimation. A challenging numerical example using the 2D Boussinesq equations demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed observer.
