Abstract

State estimation for linear time-invariant systems with unknown inputs is a fundamental problem in various research domains. In this article, we establish geometric conditions for the design of unknown input observers (UIOs). Specifically, we derive a necessary and sufficient geometric condition for the existence of a centralized UIO. Compared to existing results, our condition is less restrictive and offers a more general design framework. Furthermore, we extend the centralized UIO design to distributed settings. In contrast to existing distributed UIO approaches, which require each local node to satisfy the unknown-input-to-output rank condition, our method accommodates cases where a subset of nodes does not meet this requirement. This relaxation significantly broadens the range of practical applications. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design.
