ABSTRACT: For a class of nonlinear systems whose states are immeasurable, when the
outputs of the system are sampled asynchronously, by introducing a state observer,
an output feedback distributed model predictive control algorithm is
proposed. It is proved that the errors of estimated states and the actual system's
states are bounded. And it is guaranteed that the estimated states of the
closed-loop system are ultimately bounded in a region containing the origin.
As a result, the states of the actual system are ultimately bounded. A simulation
example verifies the effectiveness of the proposed distributed control
method.
