Distributed filtering for delayed nonlinear system with random sensor saturation: a dynamic event-triggered approach

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the distributed filtering problem for a class of delayed nonlinear systems with random sensor saturation (RSS) under a dynamic event-triggered mechanism. The nonlinear function is assumed to satisfy the Lipschitz condition. A dynamic event-triggered mechanism is employed to further reduce the innovation transmission frequencies among the adjacent nodes. Both the Bernoulli distributed random variables and saturation function are employed to model the phenomenon of RSS. The aim of this paper is to design a sub-optimal filter such that the covariance of the filtering error has an upper bound, which is minimized by appropriately computing the filter gain. Furthermore, the error boundedness is analysed and a sufficient criterion is presented to ensure that the filtering error is mean-square bounded. Finally, a numerical example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed filtering algorithm.
