Fault Diagnosis Observer Design for Discrete-Time Delayed Complex Interconnected Networks with Linear Coupling

Abstract

Fault diagnosis for a class of discrete-time delayed complex interconnected networks with linear coupling in the case of actuator fault is studied. For the case of unavailability of network state, a state observer is first designed. Then a fault diagnosis observer is designed to detect the actuator fault on the basis of online adaptive approximator, which can approximate the unmodeled dynamics of the complex networks. Lastly, by choosing a suitable threshold, the actuator fault can be detected. A numerical simulation is used to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
