摘要:AbstractThis paper proposes a robust guaranteed state estimation method with application to fault detection by combiningH∞observer design with zonotopic analysis for discrete-time systems with both time-variant and time-invariant uncertainties. In order to improve the estimation accuracy, based on theH∞technique, the observer design is achieved by solving a linear matrix inequality. The main contribution of this method lies in that the time invariance of some uncertainties is considered to reduce the conservatism of interval estimation. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
