In this paper we studfy observer design problem for
descripor systems with partly unknown inputs. We give necessary and sufficient
conditions for the existence of a solution
to the disturbance decoupled estimation problem with or
without stable error spectrum
requiring at the same time that the resulting closed-loop system is regular and of index
at most one. All results are proved based on a condensed form that can bee computed
using orthogonal matrix transformations, i.e.,
transformations that can be implemented in a numerically stable way.
