Using the theory of non-commutative rings, the delay identification problem of nonlinear time-delay systems with unknown inputs is studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions are proposed to judge the identifiability of the delay, where two different cases are discussed for the dependent and independent outputs, respectively. After that, necessary and sufficient conditions are given to analyze the causal and non-causal observability for nonlinear time-delay systems with unknown inputs.
