Design of unknown input observer for discrete time nonlinear generalized Markov jump systems under fault conditions

Abstract

In this paper, the design problem of unknown input observer for a class of nonlinear discrete time Markov jump systems has been studied. The state equation of the system with unknown input and actuator faults is considered. The unknown input observer has a relatively novel structure and can be applied to nonlinear discrete time Markov jump systems to estimate the system state and fault at the same time. Second, the design feasibility conditions of the unknown input observer based on Lyapunov function are given. Furthermore, the conditions are transformed into a set of linear matrix inequality conditions, which can be used to solve the parameters easily by using the related software toolbox. Finally, an example of nonlinear tunneling diode circuit is given to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
