An augmented descriptor plant is first formulated, by assembling measurement disturbances and sensor faults into an auxiliary state vector. Then a novel descriptor state observer for the augmented plant is constructed such that simultaneous reconstruction of original system states, sensor faults and measurement disturbances are obtained readily. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the proposed observer are explicitly provided, and the application scope of the observer is further discussed. In addition, an extension of the proposed linear approach to a class of nonlinear systems with Lipschitz constraints is investigated. Finally, two numerical examples are simulated to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed fault-reconstructing approaches.展开更多

By applying an innovation analysis in Krein space, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an H∞ filter is derived in two methods： One is the partial differential equation approach, the other is the reorganized innovation analysis approach. The former gives a solution to the proposed H∞ filtering problem in terms of the solution of a partial differential equation with boundary conditions. The later gives an analytical solution to the proposed H∞ filtering problem in terms of the solutions of Riccati and matrix differential equations.展开更多
