Abstract

In this paper, a fast online identification algorithm is proposed for linear time invariant multiple time-delays systems (LTI-MTDS) in presence of both unknown initial conditions and static disturbance. It is based on an algebraic, non-asymptotic estimation technique initiated in the framework of systems without delay by Fliess and Sira-Ramirez in [5]. Such technique, developed here in the distributional framework, leads to simple realization schemes involving integrators, multipliers by exponential time functions. We consider the identification problem of multiple-input single-output (MISO) system with two unknown time-delays. Only estimating multiple time-delays from structured input signals will be performed. Simulation studies with noisy data show the performance of the proposed approach.
