Adaptive robust H infinity filter design for linear systems with time-varying uncertainty

This article studies the problem of designing robust H filters for linear uncertain systems. The uncertainty parameters are assumed to be time-varying, unknown, but bounded, which appear affinely in the matrices of system models. An adaptive mechanism is introduced to construct novel filters with variable gains, which can reduce the conservativeness of the traditional robust H filters. The proposed adaptive filter design conditions are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
