The fault detection (FD) reduced-order filtering problem is investigated for a family of continuous-time Markovian jump linear systems (MJLSs) with polytopic uncertain transition rates, which also include the totally known and partly unknown transition rates. Then, in accordance with the convexification techniques, a novel sufficient condition for the existence of FD reduced-order filter over MJLSs with deficient transition information is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can ensure the error augmented system with the FD reduced-order filter is randomly stable. In addition, a performance index is given to enhance the robustness of the residual system against deficient transition information and external disturbance, such that the error between the fault and the residual is made as small as possible to reinforce the faults sensitivity. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is substantiated with two illustrative examples.

The fault detection (FD) reduced‐order filtering problem is investigated for a family of polytopic uncertain discrete‐time Markovian jump linear systems (MJLSs) with time‐varying delays. Under meeting the control precision requirements of the complex systems, the reduced‐order fault detection filter can improve the efficiency of the fault detection. Then, by the aid of the Markovian Lyapunov function and convex polyhedron techniques, some novel time‐varying delays and polytopic uncertain sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI) are proposed to insure the existence of the FD reduced‐order filter. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to verify the usefulness of the given method.

The paper addresses the fault detection (FD) problem for a class of discrete-time Markov jump linear systems (MJLSs) with deficient transition rates, which simultaneously considers the totally known, partly unknown, and uncertain transition rates. Then, in accordance with the linear matrix inequality (LMI) method and the convexification techniques, a sufficient condition for the existence of FD reduced-order filter over MJLSs with deficient transition information is obtained, which can ensure the error augmented system with the FD reduced-order filter is stochastically stable. In addition, a performance index is given to enhance the robustness of the residual system against deficient transition information and external disturbance, such that the error between the fault and the residual is made as small as possible to reinforce the faults sensitivity. Finally, an illustrative example is employed to show the effectiveness of the proposed design approach.

This paper addresses fault estimation in discrete-time semi-Markov jump neural networks (s-MJNNs) under the Round-Robin protocol and proposes an innovative extended state observer-based approach. Unlike studies considering only constant transition rates, this work investigates s-MJNNs with time-varying transition probabilities, which more closely reflect practical situations. By incorporating actuator and sensor faults as augmented state variables, an extended state observer is proposed to estimate system states and faults simultaneously. To alleviate network congestion and optimize communication resources, the Round-Robin protocol is adopted to schedule data transmission efficiently. By constructing a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and applying the discrete Wirtinger inequality, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the mean square exponential stability and dissipative performance of the system. The observer gain parameters are computed using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) method. Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed fault estimation method.

This paper investigates the joint state and fault estimation problem for a class of nonlinear systems subject to both measurement censoring (MC) and random missing measurements (MMs). Recognizing that state estimation for nonlinear systems in complex environments is frequently compromised by MMs, MC phenomena, and actuator faults, a novel joint estimation framework that integrates improved Tobit Kalman filtering and federated fusion is proposed, enabling simultaneous robust estimation of system states and fault signals. Among them, the Tobit measurement model is introduced to characterize the phenomenon of MC, a set of Bernoulli random variables is used to describe the MM phenomenon and common actuator faults (abrupt and ramp faults) are considered. In the fusion estimation stage, each sensor transmits observations to the local estimator for preliminary estimation, then sends the local estimated values to the fusion center for generating fusion estimates. The local filtering error covariance is ensured and the upper bound is minimized by reasonably determining the filter gain, while the fusion center performs fusion estimation based on the federated fusion criterion. In addition, this paper proves the boundedness of the filtering error of the designed estimator under certain conditions. Finally, the effectiveness of the estimation framework is demonstrated through two engineering experiments.
