In this paper, we study the state estimation for a linear time-invariant (LTI) discrete-time system with quantized measurements. The quantization law under consideration has a time-varying data rate. To cope with nonlinearities in quantization laws and to analyse stability in the state estimation problem, a Kalman-filter-based sub-optimal state estimator is developed and an upper bound of its estimation error covariance is minimized. It turns out that, to guarantee the convergence of the upper bound, the averaged data rate of the quantization law must be greater than a minimum rate. This minimum data rate for the quantization law is presented in terms of the poles of the system and design parameters in the state estimator. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the results in this work.

This paper proposes a novel state estimator for discrete-time linear systems with Gaussian noise. The proposed algorithm is a fixed-gain filter, whose observer structure is more general than Kalman one for linear time-invariant systems. Therefore, the steady-state variance of the estimation error is minimized. For white noise stochastic processes, this performance criterion is reduced to the square H2 norm of a given linear time-invariant system. Then, the proposed algorithm is called observer H2 filter (OH2F). This is the standard Wiener-Hopf or Kalman-Bucy filtering problem. As the Kalman predictor and Kalman filter are well-known solutions for such a problem, they are revisited.

Optimal deterministic observers are derived for all first order linear time invariant systems. The optimization process consists of minimizing an objective function which is quadratic in the observer gain and in the estimation error. The objective function was chosen such that the resulting observer gains would be independent of system initial-condition which would, in general, be unknown to the state estimator. The results of this optimization are sensible in the light of the stochastic estimation results of Kalman.

Successful operation and control of complex dynamic systems heavily rely on the availability of fast and accurate evaluation of the system performance. The measurement problems and the delays associated with these systems require the need for on-line state estimators as alternative measurement tools. In this work, a state estimation method based on extended Kalman filter (EKF) is presented for nonlinear dynamical systems that are characterized by complex dynamic phenomena such as multiple steady state behavior, limit cycle oscillations and chaos. The estimator uses the mathematical model of the process in conjunction with the known process measurements to provide the unmeasured process states that capture the fast changing nonlinear dynamics of the process. The design and performance of the state estimator is evaluated by applying two typical continuous non-isothermal nonlinear processes, a chemical reactor and a polymerization reactor, which show rich dynamical behavior ranging from stable situations to chaos. In order to understand the dynamic phenomena and to analyze the conditions that lead to an improved operation, prior to state estimation, these processes are thoroughly analyzed for multiplicity, stability and bifurcation studies. The sensitivity of the state estimator is also studied towards the effect of the design parameters involved in the method. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the model based method for state estimation in nonlinear chemical processes associated with complex dynamic behavior.

This paper presents a modification of the conventional minimum variance state estimator to accommodate the effects of randomly varying delays in arrival of sensor data at the controller terminal. In this approach, the currently available sensor data is used at each sampling instant to obtain the state estimate which, in turn, can be used to generate the control signal. Recursive relations for the filter dynamics have been derived, and the conditions for uniform asymptotic stability of the filter have been conjectured. Results of simulation experiments using a flight dynamic model of advanced aircraft are presented for performance evaluation of the state estimation filter.

A cooperative state estimation framework for automated vehicle applications is presented and demonstrated via simulations, the estimation framework is used to estimate the state of a lead and following vehicle simultaneously. Recent developments in the field of cooperative driving require novel techniques to ensure accurate and stable vehicle following behavior. Control schemes for the cooperative control of longitudinal and lateral vehicle dynamics generally require vehicle state information about the lead vehicle, which in some cases cannot be accurately measured. Including vehicle-to-vehicle communication in the state estimation process can provide the required input signals for the practical implementation of cooperative control schemes. This study is focused on demonstrating the benefits of using vehicle-to-vehicle communication in the state estimation of a lead and following vehicle via simulations. The state estimator, which uses a cascaded Kalman filtering process, takes the operating frequencies of different sensors into account in the estimation process. Simulation results of three different driving scenarios demonstrate the benefits of using vehicle-to-vehicle communication as well as the attenuation of measurement noise. Furthermore, in contrast to relying on low frequency measurement data for the input signals of cooperative control schemes, the state estimator provides a state estimate at every sample.

The direct determination of the steady state response for linear time invariant (LTI) systems modeled by multibond graphs is presented. Firstly, a multiport junction structure of a multibond graph in an integral causality assignment (MBGI) to get the state space of the system is introduced. By assigning a derivative causality to the multiport storage elements, the multibond graph in a derivative causality (MBGD) is proposed. Based on this MBGD, a theorem to obtain the steady state response is presented. Two case studies to get the steady state of the state variables are applied. Both cases are modeled by multibond graphs, and the symbolic determination of the steady state is obtained. The simulation results using the 20-SIM software are numerically verified.

Пусть $X_t=\sum_{j=-\infty}^{\infty}A_j\varepsilon_{t-j}$ - зависимый линейный процесс, где $\{\varepsilon_n, n\in \mathbf{Z}\}$ - последовательность $m$-обобщенных отрицательно зависимых ($m$-END) случайных величин с нулевым средним, которая стохастически доминируется случайной величиной $\varepsilon$, и пусть $\{A_n, n\in \mathbf{Z}\}$ - другая последовательность случайных величин с нулевым средним, обладающая свойством $m$-END. При подходящих условиях установлена полная моментная сходимость для зависимых линейных процессов. В частности, приведены достаточные условия полной моментной сходимости. В качестве приложения исследуется сходимость наблюдателей состояния для линейных стационарных систем.

Linear multicellular system is a type of differential inclusion system, which can be deemed as an extension of linear control system with set-valued mapping. As an important issue in existing control systems, interval state estimation has been widely applied in engineering practices. Over the years, the objects of the studies on interval state estimation have been extended from the initial linear time-invariant systems to linear time-varying systems, chaotic systems, feedback linearization systems, and nonlinear Lipschitz systems. However, there is no report on the design of interval observer for linear multicellular system. To make up for this gap, this chapter attempts to explore the design of an interval observer for linear multicellular systems.

AbstractTwo fundamentally different approaches of determining normality of the probability density function of the state estimation error are compared by application to a range of test cases. The first method is the Henze-Zirkler test, which operates on a random particle sample. The variability of its result is quantified. Using this method, departure from normality has been found to occur in three stages which are detailed. The second test compares the offset in whitened space of the predicted state to the predicted covariance mean obtained from the unscented transform. This test is much more efficient than the random particle based approach and can be applied using any perturbations model. The comparison is performed on the state estimation error in Cartesian space and using two-body motion without process noise. The more efficient, unscented transform based approach shows excellent agreement with the Henze-Zirkler test for constructed test cases. Application to orbit determination results from passive optical observations assessed with a Batch-Least-Squares orbit determination however reveals some discrepancies which have yet to be understood and underline the importance of rigorous testing.
