A Reduced-Order Fault Detection Filtering Approach for Continuous-Time Markovian Jump Systems with Polytopic Uncertainties

Abstract

The fault detection (FD) reduced-order filtering problem is investigated for a family of continuous-time Markovian jump linear systems (MJLSs) with polytopic uncertain transition rates, which also include the totally known and partly unknown transition rates. Then, in accordance with the convexification techniques, a novel sufficient condition for the existence of FD reduced-order filter over MJLSs with deficient transition information is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can ensure the error augmented system with the FD reduced-order filter is randomly stable. In addition, a performance index is given to enhance the robustness of the residual system against deficient transition information and external disturbance, such that the error between the fault and the residual is made as small as possible to reinforce the faults sensitivity. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is substantiated with two illustrative examples.
