Using a high-gain observer for a hybrid output feedback: Finite-time and asymptotic cases for SISO affine systems

This article suggests a design method of hybrid output feedbacks for affine systems under observability and stabilizability assumptions. Our aim is to use the separation principle on systems controlled by hybrid feedback laws. We investigate two constructive methods for the high-gain observer: the first one is based on a finite-time convergence of the observation error, the second one is based on an asymptotic convergence of the observation error. We illustrate one of our main results on a well-known example: integrators chain.
