H∞ Filtering for a Class of Singular Time-delay Systems

Abstract

This paper describes the H∞ filtering problem for a class of nonlinear singular time-delay systems. A sufficient condition for the existence of H∞ filter is given. Based on the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem and Lyapunov stability theory, the H∞ filter is designed such that the filtering error is asymptotically stable and satisfies the prescribed H∞ performance. In terms of linear matrix inequality, a sufficient condition for the solvability of the addressed problem is obtained. Finally, some numerical examples are employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
