As well-known, prescribed-time stabilizing design faces the need of using time-varying high gains which
escape to infinity as time approaches the desired instant. In the presence of measurement noise, the
corresponding state response is also significantly amplified that leads to the lack of robustness in the closedloop implementation. In order to eliminate this drawback, the implicit Euler discretization of the closed-loop
in question is recently developed in where desired robustness properties are conserved beyond the prescribedtime interval while also bounded state dynamics are ensured in the presence of measurement noise. Along
this line, stabilizing prescribed-observer-based output feedback algorithms and their digital implementation
are reviewed. For tutorial value, the underlying state feedback and observer designs are recalled side by side
in continuous- and discrete-time perspectives, followed by the desired output feedback design. Open problems,
calling for future investigation, conclude the review.
