Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="rnc2981-abs-0001"> <title>SUMMARY</title> <p id="rnc2981-para-0002">The problem of designing a globally exponentially convergent observer for a class of (linear in transport and nonlinear in generation) semi‐linear parabolic distributed systems is addressed within a matrix inequality framework, yielding (i) sufficient convergence conditions with physical meaning and (ii) the weight of a Lyapunov functional as design degree of freedom. The proposed approach is illustrated and tested with a representative case example in chemical reaction engineering. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</p> </abstract>
