An LMI approach to robust H∞ filtering for uncertain systems with time-varying distributed delays

In this paper, the problem of robust H∞ filtering for uncertain systems with time-varying distributed delays is considered. The uncertainties under discussion are time varying but norm bounded. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient condition for the existence of full order H∞ filters is proposed by linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach such that the filtering error system is asymptotically sable and satisfies a prescribed attenuation level of noise. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the availability of the proposed method.
