摘要：AbstractThis paper is concerned with the distributed fault diagnosis problem for a class of time-varying systems over sensor networks with nonlinearity and uncertainty. For the purpose of solving the problem of data conflict, the stochastic protocol is used to determine which node has the right to send data to the estimator at a certain transmission time. The aim of this paper is to design a set of distributed estimators to detect, isolate and estimate fault signals. The upper bound of estimation error covariance is obtained by solving two recursive matrix equations and the upper bound can be minimized by designing appropriate estimator gain at each step. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed design scheme.
