Robust stability and \({\mathcal H}_{\infty}\)-estimation for uncertain discrete systems with state-delay (Q1848973)

The problems of robust stability and \({\mathcal H}_{\infty}\)-estimation for a class of linear discrete-time systems with time-varying norm-bounded parameter uncertainty and unknown state-delay are investigated. The author develops complete results for robust stability with a prescribed performance measure. A sufficient robust stability condition with a disturbance attenuation \(\gamma\) is formulated. Lemma 2 of the paper establishes the version of the bounded real lemma as applied to uncertain discrete-time systems with state-delay. The author designs the linear state-estimator which provides robust stability with a guaranteed \(\mathcal{H}_\infty\)-performance for the estimation error irrespective of the parameter uncertainties and unknown state-delays. A numerical example for a discrete-time system with \(2\times 2\)-matrices has been worked out to illustrate the developed theory.
