H∞ filtering of networked discrete-time systems with random packet losses

This paper studies the H_∞ filtering problem for networked discrete-time systems with random packet losses. The general multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) filtering system is considered. The multiple measurements are transmitted to the remote filter via distinct communication channels, and each measurement loss process is described by a two-state Markov chain. Both the mode-independent and the mode-dependent filters are considered, and the resulting filtering error system is modelled as a discrete-time Markovian system with multiple modes. A necessary and sufficient condition is derived for the filtering error system to be mean-square exponentially stable and achieve a prescribed H_∞ noise attenuation performance. The obtained condition implicitly establishes a relation between the packet loss probability and two parameters, namely, the exponential decay rate of the filtering error system and the H_∞ noise attenuation level. A convex optimization problem is formulated to design the desired filters with minimized H_∞ noise attenuation level bound. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed results.     

Networked H∞ filtering for linear discrete-time systems

This paper studies the problem of networked H_∞ filtering for linear discrete-time systems. A new model is proposed as the filtering error system to simultaneously capture the communication constraint, random packet dropout and quantization effects in the networked systems. A sufficient condition is presented for the filtering error system to be mean square exponentially stable with a prescribed H_∞ performance by employing the multiple Lyapunov function method. The obtained condition depends on some parameters of the networked systems, such as the access sequence of nodes, packet dropout rate and quantization density. With these parameters fixed, a design procedure for the desired H_∞ filter is also presented based on the derived condition. Finally, an illustrative example is utilized to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

New results on H∞ filtering for fuzzy systems with interval time-varying delays

This paper investigates the problem of H_∞ filtering for continuous Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with an interval time-varying delay in the state. Based on the delay partitioning idea, a new approach is proposed for solving this problem, which can achieve much less conservative feasibility conditions. The attention is focused on the design of an H_∞ filter via the parallel distributed compensation scheme such that the filter error system is asymptotically stable and the H_∞ attenuation level from disturbance to estimation error is below a prescribed scalar. The constructed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, by applying the delay partitioning method, can potentially guarantee the obtained delay-dependent conditions to be less conservative than those in the literature. The obtained results are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be readily solved via standard numerical software. Finally, an example is illustrated to show the reduction in conservatism of the proposed filter design method.

An innovation approach to H∞ prediction for continuous-time systems with application to systems with delayed measurements

This paper studies the problem of H_∞ prediction for linear continuous-time systems. By developing a new method of characterizing the innovation process and applying a novel innovation analysis approach in Krein space, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a finite horizon H_∞ predictor is derived. The solution to the H_∞ prediction is given in terms of solutions of Riccati and matrix differential equations. We further extend our study to give a necessary and sufficient condition for the H_∞ filtering of linear continuous-time systems with both instantaneous and delayed measurements.     

Robust H∞ filtering for uncertain impulsive stochastic systems under sampled measurements

This paper is concerned with the problem of robust H_∞ filtering for uncertain impulsive stochastic systems under sampled measurements. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be time-varying norm-bounded. The aim is to design a stochastically stable filter, using the locally sampled measurements, which ensures both the robust stochastic stability and a prescribed level of H_∞ performance for the filtering error dynamics for all admissible uncertainties. A sufficient condition for the existence of such a filter is proposed in terms of certain linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). When these LMIs are feasible, an explicit expression of a desired filter is given. An example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Improved robust H2 and H∞ filtering for uncertain discrete-time systems

This paper is concerned with the robust H₂ and H_∞ filtering problems for linear discrete-time systems with polytopic parameter uncertainty. We aim to derive a less-conservative design than existing linear matrix inequality (LMI) based sufficient conditions. It is shown that a more efficient evaluation of robust H₂ or H_∞ performance can be obtained by a matrix inequality condition which contains additional free parameters as compared to existing characterizations. When applying this new matrix inequality condition to the robust filter design, these parameters provide extra degrees of freedom in optimizing the guaranteed H₂ or H_∞ performance and lead to a less-conservative design.     

Robust switching-type H∞ filter design for linear uncertain systems with time-varying delay

This paper is concerned with the problem of robust H_∞ filter design for a class of linear uncertain systems with time-varying delay. The uncertainty parameters are supposed to be time-varying, unknown, but bounded, which appear affinely in the matrices of the considered system model. Based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) method and switching laws, a new switching-type filter is designed to guarantee the asymptotic stability and H_∞ performance level of the filtering error systems. The key feature is that the new proposed filter parameters are switching between certain fixed gains automatically via the designed switching law. It is shown that the new filter design method is less conservative than the traditional fixed gain filter design method. An example is given to illustrate the validity of the proposed design.     

A mixed H2/H∞ adaptive tracking control for constrained non-holonomic systems

In this study, a PID type controller incorporating an adaptive control scheme for the mixed H₂/H_∞ tracking performance is developed for constrained non-holonomic mechanical systems under unknown or uncertain plant parameters and external disturbances. By virtue of the skew-symmetric property of the non-holonomic mechanical systems and an adequate choice of a state variable transformation, sufficient conditions are developed for the adaptive mixed H₂/H_∞ tracking control problems in terms of a pair of coupled algebraic equations instead of a pair of coupled non-linear differential equations. The coupled algebraic equations can be solved analytically.     

l2-l∞ filter design for discrete-time singular Markovian jump systems with time-varying delays

The problem of l₂-l_∞ filter design for discrete-time singular systems with Markovian jump and time-varying delays is investigated in this paper. By using the delay partitioning technique, a delay-dependent condition is established to guarantee the filtering error systems to be stochastically admissible and achieve a prescribed l₂-l_∞ performance index. Based on the derived condition, the full-order and reduced-order filters with mode-independent characterization are designed in a unified framework. The corresponding filter parameters can be obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. The reported results not only depend upon the delay, but also depend upon the partitioning, which aims at reducing the conservatism. Two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Networked H∞ control of linear systems with state quantization

This paper addresses the problem of H_∞ controller design for linear systems over digital communication networks. A new model is proposed to describe both the network conditions and the state quantization of the networked control systems in a unified framework. From this model, a quantized state feedback strategy is developed for global and asymptotical stabilization of the networked control systems. The same H_∞ disturbance attenuation level as that in the case without quantization is achieved. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Robust/H∞ filtering for nonlinear systems

A robust (or H_∞) approach to filtering for nonlinear systems is considered. A bound on the estimate error as a function of the disturbance energy is obtained. The corresponding dynamic programming equation is a first-order PDE. This has computational ramifications. The case where the measurements are discrete time is considered also. A numerical method is discussed.     

H∞ filtering for discrete-time systems with randomly varying sensor delays

This paper investigates an H_∞ filtering problem for discrete-time systems with randomly varying sensor delays. The stochastic variable involved is a Bernoulli distributed white sequence appearing in measured outputs. This measurement mode can be used to characterize the effect of communication delays and/or data-loss in information transmissions across limited bandwidth communication channels over a wide area. H_∞ filtering of this class of systems is used to design a filter using the measurements with random delays to ensure the mean-square stochastic stability of the filtering error system and to guarantee a prescribed H_∞ filtering performance. A sufficient condition for the existence of such a filter is presented in terms of the feasibility of a linear matrix inequality (LMI). Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Use of integrator in nonlinear H∞ design for disturbance rejection

The disturbance suppression problem for nonlinear systems is examined in this paper. We review the so-called nonstandard mixed sensitivity problem, which introduces an integrator to a selected weight, as well as the linear classical disturbance suppression problem and the linear H_∞ disturbance suppression problem. We extend this H_∞ problem to the nonlinear case, and present a method to reduce the order of the state feedback Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) partial differential equation for this nonlinear H_∞ problem by extending the concept of comprehensive stability (Proceedings of the 36th Conference on Decision and Control, 1997, p. 4653; IEEE Trans. Ind. Electron. (1998) 488). Finally, we investigate the structure of the output feedback H_∞ controller for disturbance suppression, and draw the conclusion that, as in the linear case, there must also be an integrator in the controller.     

A new approach to robust and non-fragile H∞ control for uncertain fuzzy systems

This paper investigates the robust H_∞ control and non-fragile control problems for Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with linear fractional parametric uncertainties. The robust H_∞ control problem is to design a state feedback controller such that the robust stability and a prescribed H_∞ performance of the resulting closed-loop system is ensured. And the non-fragile H_∞ control problem is to design a state feedback controller with parameter uncertainties. Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, new sufficient conditions for the solvability of the two problems are obtained. It is shown that the desired state feedback fuzzy controller can be constructed by solving a set of LMIs. Numerical examples are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.     

Delay-dependent robust H∞ control for uncertain systems with a state-delay

A robust H_∞ control for uncertain linear systems with a state-delay is described. Systems with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties are considered and linear memoryless state feedback controllers are obtained. Firstly, a delay-dependent bounded real lemma for systems with a state-delay is presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). By taking a new Lyapunov-Krasovsii functional, neither model transformation nor bounding for cross terms is required to obtain delay-dependent results. Secondly, based on the bounded real lemma obtained, delay-dependent condition for the existence of robust H_∞ control is presented in terms of nonlinear matrix inequalities. In order to solve these nonlinear matrix inequalities, an iterative algorithm involving convex optimization is proposed. Numerical examples show that the proposed methods are much less conservative than existing results.     

H2 and H∞ norm computations of linear continuous-time periodic systems via the skew analysis of frequency response operators

The H₂ and H_∞ norm computations of finite-dimensional linear continuous-time periodic (FDLCP) systems through the frequency response operators defined by steady-state analysis are discussed. By the skew truncation, the H₂ norm can be reached to any degree of accuracy by that of an asymptotically equivalent linear time-invariant (LTI) continuous-time system. The H_∞ norm can be approximated by the maximum singular value of the frequency response of an asymptotically equivalent LTI continuous-time system over a certain frequency range via the modified skew truncation. By the latter result, a Hamiltonian test is proved for FDLCP systems in an LTI fashion, based on which a modified bisection algorithm is developed.
