\(H_\infty\) filtering of time-varying nonlinear systems with randomly occurring output degradation (Q2312208)

Summary: This paper deals with the \(H_\infty\) filtering problem for nonlinear systems with randomly occurring output degradation phenomenon. Such a phenomenon is described by a stochastic variable which obeys the Bernoulli distribution with probability known priorly. A sufficient condition is derived for the nonlinear system to reach the required \(H_\infty\) performance. An iterative algorithm is then proposed to obtain the filter parameters recursively by solving the corresponding linear matrix inequality. A numerical example is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
