In this paper the problem of control for time-varying linear systems by the output (i.e. without measuring the vector of state variables or derivatives of the output signal) was considered. For the control design, the well-known online procedure for solving the Riccati matrix differential equation is chosen. This procedure involves the synthesis of linear static feedbacks on state variables in the case of known parameters of the plant. If state variables are not measured, then for the observer design using the matrix Riccati differential equation, using the dual scheme, which provides for the transposition of the state matrix and the replacement of the input matrix by the output matrix. It is well known that an observer of state variables built on the basis of a solution of the Riccati matrix differential equation ensures the exponential stability of a closed loop system in the case of uniform observability. Despite the fact that this type of observer can be classified as universal, its have a number of significant drawbacks. The main problem of such observers is the need for accurate knowledge of the parameters and the requirement for uniform observability, which in practice cannot always be realized. Thus, the problem of the new methods design for constructing observers of state variables of linear non-stationary systems is still relevant. Some time ago, a number of methods for the adaptive observers design of state variables for nonlinear systems were proposed. The main idea of the synthesis of observers was based on the transformation of the original dynamic system to a linear regression model containing unknown parameters, which in turn were functions of the initial conditions of the state variables of the control object. This approach in the English language literature is called PEBO. This paper, based on the PEBO method, proposes a new approach for the observers design of state for non-stationary systems. This approach provides the possibility of obtaining monotonic convergence estimates with transient time tuning.
