Abstract
In this paper, the problem of almost sure H-infinity filtering is studied for a class of nonlinear hybrid stochastic systems. In the system under investigation, Markovian jumping parameters, mode-dependent interval delays, nonzero exogenous disturbances as well as white noises are simultaneously taken into consideration to better model the real-world systems. Intensive stochastic analysis is carried out to obtain sufficient conditions for ensuring the almost surely exponential stability and the prescribed H-infinity performance for the overall filtering error dynamics. Furthermore, the obtained results are applied to two classes of special hybrid stochastic systems with mode-dependent interval delays, where the desired filter gain is obtained in terms of the solutions to a set of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed filter design scheme. (C) 2015 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
