Further Results on Robust Variance-Constrained Filtering for Uncertain Stochastic Systems with Missing Measurements

This paper revisits the problem of robust filtering for uncertain discrete-time stochastic systems with missing measurements. The measurements of the system may be unavailable at any sample time. Our aim is to design a new filter such that the error state of the filtering process is mean-square bounded. Furthermore, the steady-state variance of the estimation error of each state does not exceed the individual prescribed upper bound subject to all admissible uncertainties and all possible incomplete observations. It is shown that the design of a robust filter can be carried out by directly solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. The nonsingular assumption on the system matrix A and the inequality which is used to handle the uncertainties are not necessary in the derivation process of our results. Thus, it is expected that a less conservative condition can be obtained. The advantage of the new method is demonstrated via an illustrative example.
