Nonfragile Filtering under Bounded Exogenous Disturbances

This paper considers filtering for linear systems subjected to persistent exogenous disturbances. The filtering quality is characterized by the size of the bounding ellipsoid that contains the estimated output of the system. A regular approach is proposed to solve the nonfragile filtering problem. This problem consists in designing a filter matrix that withstands admissible variations of its coefficients. The concept of invariant ellipsoids is applied to reformulate the original problem in terms of linear matrix inequalities and reduce it to a parametric semidefinite programming problem easily solved numerically. This paper continues the series of author’s research works devoted to filtering under nonrandom bounded exogenous disturbances and measurement errors.
