In this note, observer design of a class of non-linear systems is considered. A quasi-one-sided Lipschitz condition is introduced to estimate the influence of non-linear vector functions on the observer. Based on the quasi-one-sided Lipschitz condition, sufficient conditions for existence of observers of the class of non-linear systems are presented which are less conservative than the results based on Lipschitz condition or one-sided Lipschitz condition in literature. Furthermore, a gain matrix of the observer is given by the linear matrix inequality.
Keywords: non-linear observer; quasi-one-sided Lipschitz condition; linear matrix inequality.
