Early criteria for observability in nonlinear dynamic systems were discovered by Griffith and Kumar, Kou, Elliot and Tarn, and Singh. == See also == ... Found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observability
property of a system which implies that its initial state can be determined from input and output variables, which are observed within a finite time interval NOTE - The observability is global if this calculation is valid whatever this initial state may be.
