Abstract

We propose a suboptimal moving horizon estimation (MHE) scheme for a general class of nonlinear systems. To this end, we consider an MHE formulation that optimizes over the trajectory of a robustly stable observer. Assuming that the observer admits a Lyapunov function, we show that this function is an M-step Lyapunov function for suboptimal MHE. The presented sufficient conditions can be easily verified in practice. We illustrate the practicability of the proposed suboptimal MHE scheme with a standard nonlinear benchmark example. Here, performing a single iteration is sufficient to significantly improve the observer's estimation results under valid theoretical guarantees.
