Abstract—This work is devoted to interval observer design for Linear Time Varying (LTV) systems and a class of nonlinear time-varying systems in the output canonical form. An interval observer design is feasible if it is possible to calculate the observer gains making the estimation error dynamics cooperative and stable. It has been shown that under some mild conditions the cooperativity of an LTV system can be ensured by a static linear transformation of coordinates. The case of a timevarying transformation for periodic systems is considered in this work. The efficiency of the proposed approach is demonstrated through computer simulations. I
