Robust Fault Detection for Nonlinear Discrete Systems with Data Drift and Randomly Occurring Faults Under Weighted Try-Once-Discard Protocol

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the robust fault detection (FD) problem for discrete uncertain systems with data drift, randomly occurring faults (ROFs) and randomly occurring nonlinearities (RONs) under weighted try-once-discard (WTOD) protocol. The phenomena of the RONs are characterized by the Bernoulli distributed variable. The Markov chain with two states is introduced to describe the ROFs in the system. The data drift is depicted by an array of mutually independent stochastic variables with individual probabilistic distribution functions. Moreover, the WTOD protocol is utilized to lessen the incidence of data collisions and enhance the communication efficiency. An FD filter is established, and sufficient conditions are proposed under which the resultant filtering error system is stochastically stable and achieves a prescribed $$H_{\infty }$$ performance irrespective of the simultaneous presence of the WTOD protocol mechanism, ROFs, RONs and data drift. Besides, the form of the desired filter parameters is presented in terms of the solutions to certain matrix inequalities. Finally, two examples are exploited to demonstrate the feasibility of the obtained robust FD algorithm.
