In this paper, the problem of estimation of non-differentially flat and Liouvillian systems is considered. The suggested approach makes use of very simple differential algebraic tools. We propose a reduced-order observer with a gain in a Hardy field. Two examples are shown to illustrate the suggested methodology.
Keywords: non-differentially flat systems; Liouvillian systems, Hardy field; proportional reduced-order observer; nonlinear systems.
