Distributed finite-time estimation

In [29] the robust distributed estimation for a class of time-invariant plants is achieved via a finite-time observer, its error reaching zero after a finite time in the absence of perturbation. Two types of robustness are also shown. First, input-to-state stability with respect to measurement noises and additive perturbations is proven. Second, we demonstrate that the estimation error stays bounded in the presence of known transmission delays.
