Feedback stabilization and observer design for sterile insect technique model

Abstract: This paper focuses on the feedback global stabilization and observer construction for a sterile insect technique model. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is one of the most ecological methods for controlling insect pests responsible for worldwide crop destruction and disease transmission. In this work, we construct a feedback law that globally asymptotically stabilizes a SIT model at extinction equilibrium. Since the application of this type of control requires the measurement of different states of the target insect population, and in practice, some states are more difficult and very expensive to measure than others, it is important to know how to construct a state estimator which from a few measured states, estimates the other ones as the one we build in the second part of our work. In the last part of our work, we show that we can apply the feedback control with estimated states to stabilize the full system.
