Robust H/sup (infinity)/ filtering for uncertain Markovian jump systems with mode-dependent time delays

This paper considers the problem of robust H/sup (infinity)/ filtering for uncertain Markovian jump linear systems with time-delays which are timevarying and depend on the system mode. The parameter uncertainties are time-varying norm-bounded. The aim of this problem is to design a Markovian jump linear filter that ensures robust exponential mean-square stability of the filtering error system and a prescribed L/sub 2/- induced gain from the noise signals to the estimation error, for all admissible uncertainties. A sufficient condition for the solvability of this problem is obtained. The desired filter can be constructed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. An illustrative numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
