The problem of observer-based fault diagnosis of a certain class of nonlinear dynamic systems is studied. To solve this problem, the following approach is suggested: replacing the initial nonlinear system by certain linear logic-dynamic system, obtaining the bank of linear logic-dynamic observers, and transforming these observers into the nonlinear ones. The procedure of the linear logic-dynamic observers synthesis is developed.
