Robust H∞ control with missing measurements and time delays

Abstract

In this technical note, the robust control problem is investigated for a class of stochastic uncertain discrete time-delay systems with missing measurements. The parameter uncertainties enter into the state matrices, and the missing measurements are described by a binary switching sequence satisfying a conditional probability distribution. The purpose of the problem is to design a full-order dynamic feedback controller such that, for all possible missing observations and admissible parameter uncertainties, the closed-loop system is asymptotically mean-square stable and satisfies the prescribed performance constraint. Delay-dependent conditions are derived under which the desired solution exists, and the controller parameters are designed by solving a linear matrix inequality (LMI). A numerical example is provided to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed design method.
