Even though this dissertation presents several developments in the field of FTB controller and observer designs, there are several extensions to the current research that should be investigated:
The case with stochastic perturbations on system parameters.
The continuous-time counterpart of the observer design problem presented here. The design of a state-dependent finite-time bounded observer for nonlinear system
models with state-dependent system matrices.
An efficient numerical method which leads to a solution for the differential linear matrix inequalities presented in Chapter 6.
The design of a mixed-criteria controller with minimum energy for the class of nonlinear systems with conic-type nonlinearities and the class of nonlinear systems with state-dependent system matrices.
