Robust Distributed Filters Design for Discrete-Time Spatially Interconnected Systems with LFT Uncertainties

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate discrete-time uncertain spatially interconnected systems (USISs), where uncertainties are modeled by linear fractional transformation (LFT). First, the well-posedness, quadratic stability and contractiveness of discrete-time USISs are introduced. Second, a sufficient condition is proposed to guarantee that discrete-time USISs are well-posed, quadratically stable and contractive. Then, a more tractable condition is derived to check the well-posedness, quadratic stability and contractiveness of discrete-time USISs via a modified bilinear transformation. Besides, the robust distributed filters which inherit the structure of the plants are designed. A sufficient and necessary condition is presented to guarantee the existence of the robust distributed filters. Finally, a vehicle platoon model demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
