Dynamic Event-triggered State Estimation for Nonlinear Coupled Output Complex Networks Subject to Innovation Constraints

Abstract

This letter investigates the recursive state estimation (RSE) problem for a class of coupled output complex networks via the dynamic event-triggered communication mechanism (DETCM) and innovation constraints (ICs). Firstly, a DETCM is employed to regulate the transmission sequences. Then, in order to improve the reliability of network communication, a saturation function is introduced to constrain the measurement outliers. A new RSE method is provided such that, for all output coupling, DETCM and ICs, an upper bound of state estimation error covariance (SEEC) is presented in a recursive form, whose trace can be minimized via parameterizing the state estimator gain matrix (SEGM). Moreover, the theoretical analysis is given to guarantee that the error dynamic is uniformly bounded. Finally, a simulation example is illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed RSE method.
