Abstract

The filter design of H for an interconnecting system (IS) with uncertain discrete time switching is examined. Discrete-time N-linear subsystems with coupling states that have time delays, external disturbances and uncertainty are taken into account. Utilising Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) and the Linear-Matrix-Inequality (LMI) approach, an appropriate filter is designed for the considered interconnected system. To remove an outside disruption, H performances (HP) are implemented. Sufficient criteria are developed to assure the Exponentially Mean-Square Stability (EMSS). Then, using MATLAB-LMI toolbox filter parameters were established. Finally, the efficiency of the designed filter is illustrated with mathematical instances.

1. Introduction

An IS comprises a single system that provides direct communication between a number of systems of information that are utilised to distribute data along with additional information by connecting different subsystems/switched systems with coupled states, within the given time intervals. The interconnected systems frequently used to describe systems that have substantial interactions in practice, for instance, an energy-efficient system, a processing controller system, few computer networks, economical system or large-space adaptable constructions. Systems made up of coupling terms or subsystems which instantly communicate with one another by a straightforward and anticipated way to achieve a shared set of goals exist in the actual world. Also, the primary benefit of interconnected systems is the terms that have been coupling and switching are carried out at the same time [14],[19],[21] and [34]. However, when a system in the world of reality is made up of interconnected elements or subsystems which have basic interactions with other components in a simple fashion and predictable manner to maintain a shared set of goals, yet the entire system that is produced exhibits complicated characteristics.

Besides interconnecting properties, practical problems always involve time-delay. The occurrence of delays in time within dynamic systems is typically caused by exchanges of data and system functions, these are unexpectable dynamics, especially fluctuations and inadequate output. In general, the states and their derivative both exhibit time delays. The main advantage of delay independent criteria is that the result obtained are less cautious than the time-dependent approach, that are studied in [1], [2], [4] and [16]. Some researchers [13], [18], [20] have investigated many employing time-varying interruptions that are being implemented into account for practical system designs, including thermodynamic and chemical treatment. Both time-invariant and time-varying delay systems can benefit from the application of time domain techniques based on Lyapunov theories, see [25], [35], [37]. It has been further developed to the study delay systems for examination of stability by using LKT and Lyapunov-Razumikhin techniques. Such techniques are widely utilised for examining the stability for the switching interconnected system. In literatures [3], [6], [38] instability of the system occurs due to time-varying delays and unwanted external disturbance. However, [23], [29] and [33] provides an excellent stability analysis for the considered system with delay in time.

Further, the filter designing topic of uncertain systems including time lags was extensively investigated because of its wide applications in the control system and signal processing area. Many findings on filter designing problems regarding multiple types of control systems were reported in the associated research [7], [24], [27]. Usually, Kalman filter is frequently used to obtain the best possible outcomes for linear or Gaussian monitoring technique issues and it may deliver excellent tracking quality, see [36], [39]. The uniform complete observability and controllability of the underlying state-space structure serve as foundation for the Kalman filter. But, for the H filter, there is no requirement to establish any Gaussian assumptions about the additive noise and the simulated noise within the system's state-space visualisation. The goal of H filter is to reduce the incidence of domain maximum error power, while the Kalman filter reduces the mean error power. Compared to normal Kalman filter, the H filter is more durable since it minimises the estimated error in a worst-case scenario. Also, the significant benefit of using H approaches over standard control methods is its easy applicability to multivariate networks including cross-coupling among multichannel concerns. A closed-loop influence of a fluctuation can be minimised using H approaches; its effect is quantified by means of performance or stabilisation depending on how the problem is formulated. The main idea of the H filter is that it exhibits excellent robustness against uncertain systemic noises and is also used in signal analysis and control theory to accomplish stabilisation with certain performance.

Switching systems are one of the mixed dynamic system made up of different components which have its own parameters, that are among N modules and are regulated by certain switching rules. A variety of methods has been offered for the analysis of switching systems; the dwell-time methods were the most widely applied and have been demonstrated to provide more beneficial. Recognising that dwell-time methods are especially desirable and versatile. It has an extensive variety of necessitate in both artificial and mechanical systems, such as switched-capacitor networks, computerised motorway systems, air-traffic control systems, power electronics, and chao-generators, all of which fully enveloped in generating the switching systems. In recent days researchers have shown a significant level of desire in the investigation of switched interconnected systems, see [5], [12], [28] and references therein. Choosing a mode-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) over a mode-independent one will yield less conservative outcomes. It should be noted that it can be challenging to delete some coupled terms that are obtained by computing the derivative of mode-dependent LKF, which could be eliminated by imposing certain tight constraints, which may introduce some conservatism.

Moreover, in real-world problems, most physical system undergoes some external disturbances. Disturbance in the system indicates that the system undergoes some unwanted input which affects the system output, it also increases the designed system errors. To handle the external noises and disturbances in the system there have been many performance used in the existing literature, among these H filter designing have the main advantages in-order to disable all conventional control methods, which are employed to manage disturbances and generate a controller that would provide the necessary strong performance. The primary goals of the H filtering technique include noise reduction and state estimation. Filter design for networked control system has been investigated in [9], [11], [32], H performance aids in handling control-system disturbances. In response to this outside disturbances, numerous performances have been developed. But H performance ensures some special advantage in filtering problems. Few researchers [8], [10], [15] have illustrated that the primary focus of H performance is the estimation of states in-order to minimise external disturbances affecting the system under consideration. In addition, in recent days for nonlinear as well as linear systems, H filter theory has many important progress and attracted considerable attention among researches. Moreover, when the parameter uncertainty appears in plant models, robust H analysis will guarantee the required robustness that have been clearly explained in [17] and in various literature there has been a huge number of results on continuous-time as well as discrete-time systems [22], [26], [31] and references therein.

Motivated by this aforestated discussion, we have considered discrete-time interconnected system containing time-varying delays in this study, here switching signals and the coupled terms are addressed concurrently. A suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional in addition to dwell-time is employed to evaluate the results, if ‘i’ is large the dwell-time helps to reduce the computation complexity. Further, it is noted that the whenever the uncertainties and time-varying delays occur simultaneously in an interconnected system, the robust filter designing problem is still unsolved. This motivated to focus on the switched interconnected systems. Here, we initially discussed about the consistency of an interconnected system when no external noise occurs. Furthermore, our focus is on designing H filters for linear switched systems. Our current work has made the following significant contributions:

  • 1.

    To determine the effectiveness of the intended IS, the switching process together with coupled terms were carried out concurrently.

  • 2.

    To reduce the external disturbance, an analysis involves focusing on the H effectiveness for discrete-time IS. A collection of necessary circumstances according to LMI is established to assure the stability for the designed IS.

  • 3.

    An adequate filter is developed to eliminate the external interruption and to establish the system inaccuracy. Then, by building the Lyapunov-Krasovskii function together with the dwell-time, to establish the necessary stability criteria, we demonstrate that the intended filter exists.

  • 4.

    The proposed result is implemented in the inverted pendulums and the outcomes of the simulation indicate the successful outcome for the outlined approach.

2. Problem formation

Preliminaries

Here the essential symbols that have been employed throughout this work are standard. To indicate the inverse ‘−1’ and to denote transposition of a matrix superscript ‘T’ are used. Euclidean-space with n×n dimensions is denoted by Rn×n. The identity matrix is denoted by I, diagonal matrix is indicated as diag{.}, the symmetry parts are indicated by the symbol ().

2.1. System description

A class of switched-interconnected systems involving coupling modes and time-varying delays that are composed of N-linear discrete-time modules is considered. Its ith system is outlined as:

xi(k+1)=Aixi(k)+Atixi(kϒi(k))+jNiinAtijxj(kϒij(k))+Bidi(k),yi(k)=Cixi(k)+Didi(k),xi(j)=Φi(j),j[ϒ,0], (1)

here the state of the system is represented by xi(k)Rni and measurement output is represented by yi(k)Rmi. jNiinAtij is the coupling term and ‘i’ indicates the switching between the subsystems. The coupling term and switching signal are handled simultaneously in the considered interconnected system. The symbols Niin={jN{i}|Atij0} as well as Niout={jN{i}|Atji0} denote in-neighbouring sets & out-neighbouring for ith switching modes, respectively. The relationship between the ith and jth subsystems is specifically described by Atij>0. There won't be any relationship among them if Atij=0. Then, ϒi(k), ϒij(k) are time-delays ϒ=max[ϒi(M),ϒij(M)] that satisfy 0ϒimϒi(k)ϒiM and 0ϒijmϒij(k)ϒijM, where the bounds ϒim, ϒiM, ϒijm and ϒijM were constant values. Here external disturbances di(k) are defined on L2[0,).

2.2. Filter description

Since ξi(k) is an approximated output signal, it can be defined as:

ξi(k)=Eixi(k),

here the known constant Ei have the proper dimensions. The goal of the filtering analysing is to estimate ξi(k) using the estimated error ξ¯i(k)ξi(k). To determine the estimation for ξi(k), one can use the methods that follow full order filtering:

x¯i(k+1)=Afix¯i(k)+Bfiyi(k),ξ¯i(k)=Efix¯i(k),x¯i(k0)=0, (2)

here the state vector is denoted by x¯i(k)Rni, the signal that comes out of the filter is denoted by ξ¯i(k)Rpi, and the filtering parameters that need to be developed are Afi, Bfi, and Efi.

Then, xˆi(k)=[xiT(k)x¯iT(k)]T is the new state that should be defined and the filter error is termed as ξˆi(k)=ξi(k)ξ¯i(k). From (1) and (2), it can be derived as:

xˆi(k+1)=A¯ixˆi(k)+A¯tiεxˆi(kϒi(k))+jNiinA¯tijεxˆj(kϒij(k))+B¯idi(k),ξiˆ(k)=Eixiˆ(k),xiˆ(k0)=xˆ0, (3)

where

A¯i=[Ai0BfiCiAfi],A¯ti=[Ati0],A¯tij=[Atij0],B¯i=[BiBfiDi],ε=[I0],Ei=[EiEfi].

Next, the intended system's (1) stability is studied in both the presence and absence of disturbances.

Lemma 1

[40]For any matrix A, Q=QT, with P>0, the condition that ATPAQ<0 is true only if is present matrix S, we have

[QATSTPSST]<0

Lemma 2

[30]PresumeF(k)represents a matrix functional that satisfiesFT(k)F(k)I. Real matrices Ω, M, and Na are assumed to have the proper dimensions. Following that,

Ω+MF(k)Na+[MF(k)Na]T<0,

pertains to the case where a scalar ϵ>0 exists and is satisfied.

Ω+ϵ1MMT+ϵNaTNa<0.

Definition 1

whenever (3) has zero initially circumstances, the systems are considered EMSS with ensured HP γi>0, if its mean square stable which satisfies the subsequent inequality,

iΩ{r=k0ξiˆT(r)ξiˆ(r)}iΩ{γi2r=k0diT(r)di(r)}.

Definition 2

Given a switch signal i, for every kk0 & k0τk, where Ni indicate the number of switching of i in the range [k0, k]. In the event when Tb>0 exist, then N00 also exist, we have Ni(k0,k)N0+(kk0)/Tb, here dwell-time is denoted by Tb, and the chatter-bound by N0. We select N0=0, as is frequently done in the literature.

Remark 1

Qij represent an equidefinite positive matrix along with xj(k)Rni. In the event that the pertinent series converges, the inequality that follows is obvious

i=1Nj=1NxˆjT(k)Qijxjˆ(k)=i=1NxˆiT(k)(j=1NQji)xˆj(k)(or)jNiinxˆjT(k)Pijxˆj(k)=xˆiT(k)(jNioutPji)xˆj(k).

3. Main results

Within this segment, in the absence of disruption first we investigate EMSS for designed system. Next, we examine the necessary criteria for evaluating exponential H filter.

Proof 1

The subsequent LKF is defined to provide LMI-based sufficient-condition and to demonstrate the necessary outcome for the specified systems

V(k)=iΩVi(k)=iΩ[V1i+V2i+V3i+V4i+V5i], (5)

we have

V1i(k)=xˆiT(k)Pixˆi(k)V2i(k)=v=kϒimk1(1δ)kv1xˆiT(v)εTQ1iεxˆi(v)+v=kϒi(k)k1(1δ)kv1xˆiT(v)εTQ2iεxˆi(v)+v=kϒiMk1(1δ)kv1xˆiT(v)εTQ3iεxˆi(v),V3i(k)=r=ϒiM+1ϒimv=k+rk1(1δ)kv1xˆiT(v)εTQ2iεxˆi(v),V4i(k)=jNiin[v=kϒijmk1(1δ)kv1xˆiT(v)εTR1ijεxˆi(v)+v=kϒij(k)k1(1δ)kv1xˆiT(v)εTR2ijεxˆi(v)v=kϒijMk1(1δ)kv1xˆiT(v)εTR3ijεxˆi(v)],V5i(k)=jNiin[r=ϒijM+1ϒijmv=k+rk1(1δ)kv1xˆiT(v)εTR2ijεxˆi(v)].

Now, let's signify the forward-difference ΔVi(k)=Vi(k+1)Vi(k), we have the following

ΔV1(k+1)+δV1(k)=V1(k+1)(1δ)V1(k)=xiˆT(k+1)Pixiˆ(k+1)(1δ)xiˆT(k)Pixiˆ(k)=[A¯ixˆi(k)+A¯tixˆi(kϒi(k))+jNiinA¯tijxˆj(kϒij(k))+B¯idi(k)]TP1i[A¯ixˆi(k)+A¯tixˆi(kϒi(k))+jNiinA¯tijxˆj(kϒij(k))+B¯idi(k)](1δ)xˆiT(k)Pixˆi(k). (6)
ΔV2(k+1)+δV2(k)=V2(k+1)(1δ)V2(k)=xiˆT(k)εT(Q1i+Q2i+Q3i)εxiˆ(k)(1δ)ϒimxiˆT(kϒim)εTQ1iεxiˆ(kϒim)(1δ)ϒimxiˆT(kϒi(k))εTQ2iεxiˆ(kϒi(k))(1δ)ϒiMxiˆT(kϒiM)εTQ3iεxiˆ(kϒiM)+v=k+1ϒiMkϒim(1δ)kvxˆiT(v)εTQ2iεxˆi(v). (7)
ΔV3(k+1)+δV3(k)=V3(k+1)(1δ)V3(k)=(ϒiMϒim)xiˆT(k)εTQ2iεxiˆ(k)r=k+1ϒiMkϒim(1δ)krxˆiT(r)εTQ2iεxˆi(r). (8)
ΔV4(k+1)+δV4(k)=V4(k+1)(1δ)V4(k)=jNiin[xˆjT(k)εT(R1ij+R2ij+R3ij)εxjˆ(k)(1δ)ϒijmxˆjT(kϒijm)εTR1ijεxjˆ(kϒijm)(1δ)ϒijmxjˆT(kϒij(k))εTR2ijεxjˆ(kϒij(k))(1δ)ϒijMxjˆT(kϒijM)εTR3ijεxjˆ(kϒijM)+v=k+1ϒijMkϒijm(1δ)ksxˆjT(v)εTR2ijεxˆj(v)]. (9)
ΔV5(k+1)+δV5(k)=V5(k+1)(1δ)V5(k)=jNiin[(ϒijMϒijm)xjˆT(k)εTR2ijεxjˆ(k)r=k+1ϒijMkϒijm(1δ)krxˆjT(r)εTR2ijεxˆj(r)]. (10)

Utilising this Remark 1, [(9)] and [(10)] could be expressed thereby:

ΔV4(k+1)+δV4(k)=V4(k+1)(1δ)V4(k)=xˆiT(k)εT[jNioutR1ji+R2ji+R3ji]εxˆi(k)+xˆjT(kϒijm)εTM1εxjˆ(kϒijm)+xˆjT(kϒij(k))εT×M2εxˆj(kϒij(k))+xjˆT(kϒijM)εTM3εxˆj(kϒijM)+v=k+1ϒijMkϒijm(1δ)kvxˆjT(v)εTR2ijεxˆj(v). (11)
ΔV5(k+1)+δV5(k)=V5(k+1)(1δ)V5(k)=xˆjT(k)εT[jNiout(ϒijMϒijm)R2ij]εxˆj(k)r=k+1ϒijMkϒijm(1δ)krxˆjT(r)εTR2ijεxˆj(r). (12)

In-order prove the stability results in the absence of disturbance, combining (6), (7), (8), (11) and (12), we have

ΔVi(k)+δVi(k)ζkTΨiζk, (13)

where Ψi=Ψ1i+Ψ2iTPiΨ2i,

ηk=[xˆiT(k)εTxˆiT(kϒim)εTxˆiT(kϒi(k))εTxˆiT(kϒiM)εTxˆjT(kϒijm)εTxˆjT(kϒij(k))εTxˆjT(kϒijM)]T.

In view of LMI [(4)] there exists Si, utilising Lemma 1, we obtain Ψi<0. In-order to make it simple to confirm where iΩ[ΔVi(k)+δVi(k)]0. Thus, one can be able to obtain the subsequent:

iΩ[ΔVi(k+1)Vi(k)]iΩδVi(k),

it indicates

iΩVik(k)(1δ)kktiΩVikt(kt)(1δ)kktμiΩVikt1(kt)μ(1δ)kkt(1δ)ktkt1iΩVikt1(kt1)=μ(1δ)kkt1iΩVikt1(kt1)μNi(k0,k)(1δ)kk0iΩVik0(k0). (14)

In accordance with Definition 2, considering the chatter-bound and dwell-time, [(14)] turns into

iΩVik(k)((1δ)μ1Tb)kk0iΩVik0(k0). (15)

From [(5)], it can be confirmed that Vik(k)β1xˆi2 and Vik0(k0)β2ϕˆil2. Then we have

iΩβ1xˆi2((1δ)μ1Ta)kk0iΩβ2ϕˆil2iΩxˆi2β2β1ϑkk0iΩϕˆil2. (16)

Here ϑ=((1δ)μ1Ta), now we obtain ϑ<1 by using Ta. This proves the exponential stability of (3) without disturbance.

Theorem 2

For any switching signaliand the given scalarsμ>1and0<δ<1along with dwell-time which satisfyTbTb=lnμln(1δ)and for everyi,jN, then [(3)] is termed as EMSS together with the HPγi>0, then here exists positive-definitePi,Q1i,Q2i,Q3i,R1ij,R2ij,R3ijmatrices andS1i,S2ibe any matrices hereij, then convex-optimization problems:

minPi;Q1i;Q2i;Q3i;R1ij;R2ij;R3ijρiwithρi=γi2, (17)

subjected to LMI

[Ψ¯i0Ψ¯1iTΨ¯2iTΨ¯3iTγi2IBiTS1iTDiTBfiTS2iT0P1iS1iS1iTP2i0P3iS2iS2iT0I]<0, (18)

here

Ψ¯i=diag{Ψ¯(1,1)i,(1δ)P2i,(1δ)ϒimQ1i,(1δ)ϒimQ2i,(1δ)ϒiMQ3i,M1,M2,M3},Ψ1i¯=[S1iAi00S1iAti00S1ijNiinAtij0],Ψ2i¯=[S2iBfiCiS1iAfi000000],Ψ3i¯=[EiEfi000000].

FurtherAfi=S1iTF1i,Bfi=S2iTF2iandEfiare the filter parameters.

Proof 2

First we define Pi as

Pi=[P1iP2i0P3i].

The H performance of the system [(3)] will now be addressed. We take into account the performance-index described as J=iΩ{ξiˆT(k)ξiˆ(k)γi2diT(k)di(k)}, using LKF [(5)] along with [(4)] we obtain,

ΔVi(k)+δVi(k)+iΩ{ξiˆT(k)ξiˆ(k)γi2diT(k)di(k)}iΩζ1kTΨˆiζ1k, (19)

where ζ1kT=[ζkTdi(k)], we consider Si=diag{S1i,S2i}

Ψˆi=[Ψ¯i+Ψˆ3iTΨˆ3i0Ψ1i¯TΨ2i¯Tγi2IBiTS1iTDiTBfiTS2iTP1iS1iS1iTP2iP3iS2iS2iT], (20)

Ψˆ3iT=[EiEfi0n,6n]. In light of Schur-complement F1i=S1iAfi,PF2i=S2iBfi, now its simple to obtain [(20)] is alike to [(18)]. Therefore when [(18)] holds for all 0<δ<1, from [(19)] we have,

ΔVi(k)+δVi(k)+iΩ{ξˆiT(k)ξiˆ(k)γi2diT(k)di(k)}0. (21)

Using (20), to validate HP for the considered systems, one can obtain

Vi(k)(1δ)Vi(k0)[iΩ{ξiˆT(k0)ξiˆ(k0)γi2diT(k0)di(k0)}].

Repeating the above mentioned inequality, one gets as

Vi(k)(1δ)kk0Vi(k0)[iΩ{v=k0k1(1δ)kv1[ξiˆT(v)ξiˆ(v)γi2diT(v)di(v)]}].(1δ)kk0Vi(k0)iΩv=k0k1(1δ)kv1ξiˆT(v)ξiˆ(v)+iΩv=k0k1(1δ)kv1γ2idiT(v)di(v)

Therefore we have

Vikk(1δ)kktVik(kt)iΩv=ktk1(1δ)kv1ξiˆT(v)ξiˆ(v)+iΩv=ktk1(1δ)kv1γ2idiT(v)di(v)(1δ)kktμVikt1(kt)iΩv=ktk1(1δ)kv1ξiˆT(v)ξiˆ(v)+iΩv=ktk1(1δ)kv1γ2idiT(v)di(v)=(1δ)kk0μN(k0,k)Vik0(k0)iΩv=k0k1μN(v,k)(1δ)kv1[ξiˆT(v)ξiˆ(v)γi2diT(v)di(v)],

using zero initial circumstance, where -v=k0k1μN(v,k)(1δ)kv10,

μNi(0,k)iΩv=k0k1μNi(v,k)(1δ)kv1ξiˆT(v)ξiˆ(v)μNi(0,k)iΩv=k0k1μNi(v,k)(1δ)kv1γi2diT(v)di(v)iΩv=k0k1μNi(0,v)(1δ)kv1ξiˆT(v)ξiˆ(v)iΩv=k0k1μNi(0,v)(1δ)kv1γi2diT(v)di(v).

Now by Definition 2 and by using this Ni(0,v)vTbvln(1δ)lnμ its simple to get

iΩv=k0k1μvln(1δ)lnμ(1δ)kv1ξiˆT(v)ξiˆ(v)iΩv=k0k1(1δ)kv1γi2diT(v)di(v)iΩv=k0k1(1δ)v(1δ)kv1ξiˆT(v)ξiˆ(v)γi2iΩv=k0k1(1δ)kv1diT(v)di(v)iΩ{v=k0(1δ)vξiˆT(v)ξiˆ(v)}iΩγi2{v=k0diT(v)di(v)}.

With reference to Definition 1, it could be established thus the interconnected system (3) remains EMSS, ensuring HP of γi>0. Hence, this brings the proof to a conclusion.

Now, we consider the system with uncertainties is expressed by:

xi(k+1)=(Ai+ΔAi)xi(k)+(Ati+ΔAti)xi(kϒi(k))+jNiin(Atijx+ΔAtij)(kϒij(k))+Bidi(k)yi(k)=(Ci+ΔCi)xi(k)+Didi(k)xi(j)=Φ(j),j[ϒ,0]. (22)

The uncertainties parameter are defined as follows:

[ΔAiΔAtiΔAtijΔCi]=[RaF(k)NaRatiF(k)NatiRatijF(k)NatijRcF(k)Nc],

where Ra, Na, Rati, Nati, Ratij, Natij recognised as real matrices where time-varying matrix is represented as F(k) satisfy FT(k)F(k) I and ϒ=max[ϒi(M),ϒij(M)]. Considering filter system (2), the augmented system is defined as

xˆi(k+1)=A¯ixˆi(k)+A¯tiεxˆi(kϒi(k))+jNiinA¯tijεxˆj(kϒij(k))+B¯idi(k),ξˆi(k)=Eixˆi(k),xˆi(k0)=xˆ0. (23)

Now denote

A¯i=[Ai+ΔAi0Bfi(Ci+ΔCi)Afi],A¯ti=[Ati+ΔAti0],A¯tij=[Atij+ΔAtij0],
B¯i=[BiBfiDi],ε=[I0],Ei=[EiEfi].

Below theorem illustrates that the designed system is stable with uncertainties.

Theorem 3

Consider the uncertainty for the designed systems (3) . The H performance is achieved for every non zero wi(k) . For any switching signal i and the given scalars μ>1 and 0<δ<1 along with dwell-time that satisfy TbTb=lnμln(1δ) , it has been implied that the systems (3) are EMSS along with HP γi>0 , then here exists positive-definite matrices Pi , Q1i , Q2i , Q3i , R1ij , R2ij , R3ij , S1i , S2i are any suitable-dimension matrices and non negative real scalars be ϵ1>0 , ϵ2>0 , ϵ3>0 and ϵ4>0 satisfying the following matrix inequality,

Afi=S1iTF1i,Bfi=S2iTF2i and Efi are the designed filter parameters.

Proof 3

As of right now, we are going to speculate about the H performance for (23). In light of HP described below: J=iΩ{ξiˆT(k)ξiˆ(k)γi2diT(k)di(k)}, by combining (4) with LKF (5), we can determine

ΔVi(k)+δVi(k)+iΩ{ξiˆT(k)ξiˆ(k)γi2diT(k)di(k)}iΩζ1kTψˆiζ1k, (25)

where ζ1kT=[ζkTdi(k)].

ψˆi=[Ψ¯i+Ψ¯3iTΨ¯3iΨ¯1iTΨ¯2iTP1iS1iS1iTP2iP3iS2iS2iT]

Ψ¯3iT=[EiEfi0n,6n]. In view of Schur-complement, here we take Si=diag{S1i,S2i} and F1i=S1iAfi,PF2i=S2iBfi, we obtain

[Ψi¯Ψ¯1iTΨ¯2iTΨ¯3iTP1iS1iS1iTP2i0P3iS2iS2iT0I]<0, (26)

here

Ψ¯i=diag{Ψ¯(1,1)i,(1δ)P2i,(1δ)ϒimQ1i,(1δ)ϒimQ2i,(1δ)ϒiMQ3i,M1,M2,M3,γi2I},Ψ¯1i=[S1i(Ai+ΔAi)00S1i(Ati+ΔAti)00S1ijNiin(Atij+ΔAtij)0S1iBi],Ψ¯2i=[S2iBfi(Ci+ΔCi)S2iAfi000000S2iBfiDi],Ψ¯3i=[EiEfi0n,7n].

Here by using Lemma 2, ΔAi is replaced by RaiFiNai, ΔAti is replaced by RatiFiNati, ΔAtij is replaced by RadijFiNatij and ΔCi is replaced by RciFiNci Therefore it implies that if for 0<δ<1 LMI (26) holds, then it follows (25) we obtain,

ΔVi(k)+δVi(k)+iΩ{ξiˆT(k)ξiˆ(k)γi2diT(k)di(k)}0. (27)

The proof of the H performance and the remaining portion of this theorem's proof is identical to that of Theorem 2, so it has been excluded here.

Remark 2

It ought to be mentioned, the results obtained using mode and delay-dependent LKF will be much useful in practice. The state vector with delay information is utilised to establish a new LKF for the considered system. Choice of mode and delay-dependent LKF over a mode-delay-independent one will yield less conservative outcomes. But it could be challenging to deal the time difference of mode-dependent LKF and may result in some high computational time.

4. Numerical examples

The utility and efficacy of the filter design created in this research are demonstrated numerically in this section.

Example 1

Case 1

First, we take into account the system [3] without uncertainty, with each subsystem parameter being:

Subsystem 1

A1=[0.020.20.20.010.010.020.010.030.02],At1=[0.30.010.10.30.050.10.100.09],B1=[0.10.10.4],At12=[0.20.10.20.20.20.10.20.10.2],C1=[0.30.20.1]T,At13=[0.10.10.10.20.20.10.10.10.2],D1=0.2

Subsystem 2

A2=[0.030.010.020.10.030.010.010.010.03],At2=[0.030.010.020.030.020.0200.010.1],B2=[0.30.30.2],At21=[0.010.10.10.020.10.10.20.090.2],C2=[0.10.10.2]T,At23=[0.20.20.10.010.10.20.20.090.1],D2=0.3

Subsystem 3

A3=[0.030.010.010.0100.010.0010.020.01],At3=[0.10.20.20.10.20.10.010.10.2],B3=[0.30.20.1],At31=[0.10.20.20.10.20.10.10.20.2],C3=[0.20.10.1]T,At32=[0.20.10.20.10.20.10.10.10.2],D3=0.1.

δ=0.02 is the chosen switching signal and weight of the output signal is provided by

E1=[0.10.30.7],E2=[0.40.20.4],E3=[0.30.20.3],

the time-varying delays satisfying 1ϒi(k)4, 2ϒij(k)4. Then the LMI in 1 are figured out by the help of minimum H level, here we obtain the parameters for the developed filters

Af1=[0.00760.00040.02390.02010.02760.02380.03870.02130.0324],Bf1=[0.09460.02400.0320],Ef1=[1.32942.20036.5068]T,Af2=[0.02370.01280.02660.03500.01410.04780.01100.00770.0345],Bf2=[0.00540.28430.1447],Ef2=[4.92333.94635.9750]T,Af3=[0.02600.05510.01350.01160.04330.01710.04170.10370.0120],Bf3=[0.08770.03470.0163],Ef3=[1.37092.77702.1914]T.

Moreover, the error system has a H performance level of γ=0.6979, indicating exponential stability. Furthermore, we demonstrate the versatility of the filter established after figuring out an effective solution. The disturbances for each modes are: d1i(k)=1.1sin(0.02k), d2i(k)=0.5sin(0.03k) and d3i(k)=0.2sin(0.01k).

The signal that switches between every subsystem within the specified time frames is denoted in Fig. 1. The outcome for the state vectors xi(k) and filtering state xfi(k) were shown in Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, here i=1,2,3. This illustration explains the switching and coupled terms were managed concurrently, and the convergence indicates the system is stable. The error state performance is shown in Fig. 5. It is simple to demonstrated the filter developed here minimises the disturbances within the designed systems together with time-varying delay.

Case 2

We consider linear uncertain system [23] made up of three subsystems:

Subsystem 1

A1=[0.010.020.020.030.030.030.020.010.02],At1=[0.020.100.40.020.10.100.03],At12=[0.20.10.20.20.20.10.10.10.1],At13=[0.20.10.20.20.10.10.10.10.2],B1=[0.10.10.5]T,C1=[0.60.30.1],D1=0.5,Ra1=[0.20.10.1],Rad1=[0.10.20.2],Rad12=[0.10.20.5],Rad13=[0.20.30.2],Rc1=[0.10.20.5],Na1=[0.30.20.1]T,Nad1=[0.40.10.1]T,Nad12=[0.20.10.1]T,Nad13=[0.30.20.1]T,Nc1=[0.10.20.1]T.

Subsystem 2

A2=[0.020.010.030.10.010.020.010.010.02],At2=[0.010.020.020.010.020.0100.010.1],B2=[0.40.30.6]T,At21=[0.20.10.10.030.10.20.20.090.1],C2=[0.50.20.1]T,At23=[0.20.10.10.020.10.20.20.090.2],D2=0.6,Ra2=[0.30.20.1],Rad2=[0.10.40.1],Rad21=[0.30.40.5],Rad23=[0.10.11.2],Rc2=[0.20.10.1],Na2=[0.10.20.1]T,Nad2=[0.20.20.1]T,Nad21=[0.10.10.1]T,Nad23=[0.30.20.2]T,Nc2=[0.10.20.1]T.

Subsystem 3

A3=[0.020.020.010.010.020.020.010.020.01],At3=[0.10.10.20.10.20.10.010.10.2],B3=[0.40.50.2]T,At31=[0.20.30.10.10.20.10.10.10.2],C3=[0.10.20.1]T,At32=[0.20.10.10.010.10.20.20.10.2],D3=0.1,Ra3=[0.20.40.3],Rad3=[0.10.20.3],Rad31=[0.30.11.2],Rad32=[0.20.10.2],Rc3=[0.30.30.1],Na3=[0.10.20.1]T,Nad3=[0.20.10.3]T,Nad31=[0.10.10.1]T,Nad32=[0.20.20.3]T,Nc3=[0.10.20.1]T.

δ=0.01 is the chosen switching signal and weight of the outcome-signal is:

E1=[0.20.50.7],E2=[0.60.30.7],E3=[0.30.20.5],

The time-varying delays satisfying 2ϒi(k)4, 2ϒij(k)6, we obtain

Af1=[0.01630.03150.03530.00800.02980.04570.01370.00610.0265],Bf1=[0.01770.05590.0231],Ef1=[3.39845.52924.5890]T,Af2=[0.01050.01620.06640.01990.02370.00910.05230.01910.0470],Bf2=[0.11460.19000.1028],Ef2=[4.41934.61856.4272]T,Af3=[0.04870.01680.03820.02470.01250.04690.01260.02160.0381],Bf3=[0.23820.26160.2087],Ef3=[2.21644.06862.2682]T.

Further, system is exponentially-stable where the obtained H level is γi=0.8386, the switching and error responses are shown in Figure 6, Figure 7, respectively. This demonstrates the applicability of the proposed outcomes.

5. Conclusion

For the discrete-time interconnected systems, we have examined the EMSS with time-varying delays and the H filter method is also examined in this study. Designing a suitable filter for the described interconnected systems is the primary contribution. To demonstrate the exponential stability for the designed system, a set of LMI are provided with the disturbance rejection level γi>0. Standard packages are used to solve this set of LMI constraints. Finally, examples with two cases are demonstrated for the prescribed system with and without uncertainty in-order to deliver the positive impact for the intended outcomes. It is important to remember that when the switching signal ‘i’ is large the results still hold, but the computation complexity will be high, that is, the duration for convergence is also increased. This could lead to wide research analysis and will be our future topic of research.
