Abstract
We study the problem of observing the state of continuous nonlinear de scriptor systems in quasilinear form and present a method to construct a state observer. Our approach is based on rewriting the descriptor s ystem as an equivalent system of (explicit) differential equations on a restricted manifold. Finally, the restrictions are replaced by measu rement equations. Thus, an observer for the descriptor system can be c onstructed by common state space techniques for explicit systems.
