Concepts

TL;DR

The study considers nonlinear stochastic systems whose states and measurements are corrupted by uncertain exogenous disturbances and modeled by Ito‑type stochastic differential equations. The paper aims to develop robust H∞ filtering analysis and synthesis for nonlinear stochastic systems with disturbance‑dependent noise. The authors obtain H∞ filters by solving second‑order nonlinear Hamilton–Jacobi inequalities, and extend the design to a mixed H₂/H∞ problem by minimizing total estimation error energy under worst‑case disturbances. For a class of special nonlinear stochastic systems, the H∞ filter design reduces to solving linear matrix inequalities, and examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Abstract

This paper describes the robust H/sub /spl infin// filtering analysis and synthesis of nonlinear stochastic systems with state and exogenous disturbance-dependent noise. We assume that the state and measurement are corrupted by stochastic uncertain exogenous disturbance and that the system dynamic is modeled by Ito/spl circ/-type stochastic differential equations. For general nonlinear stochastic systems, the H/sub /spl infin// filter can be obtained by solving second-order nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi inequalities. When the worst-case disturbance is considered in the design procedure, a mixed H/sub 2//H/sub /spl infin// filtering problem is also solved by minimizing the total estimation error energy. It is found that for a class of special nonlinear stochastic systems, the H/sub /spl infin// filtering design can be given via solving several linear matrix inequalities instead of Hamilton-Jacobi inequalities. A few examples show that the proposed methods are effective.
