Combined state and parameter estimation for Hammerstein systems with time-delay using the Kalman filtering

This paper discusses the state and parameter estimation problem for a class of Hammerstein state space systems with time-delay. Both the process noise and the measurement noise are considered in the system. Based on the observable canonical state space form and the key term separation, a pseudo-linear regressive identification model is obtained. For the unknown states in the information vector, the Kalman filter is used to search for the optimal state estimates. A Kalman-filter based least squares iterative and a recursive least squares algorithms are proposed. Extending the information vector to include the latest information terms which are missed for the time-delay, the Kalman-filter based recursive extended least squares algorithm is derived to obtain the estimates of the unknown time-delay, parameters and states. The numerical simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms

Least squares-based iterative identification methods for linear-in-parameters systems using the decomposition technique

By extending the least squares-based iterative (LSI) method, this paper presents a decomposition-based LSI (D-LSI) algorithm for identifying linear-in-parameters systems and an interval-varying D-LSI algorithm for handling the identification problems of missing-data systems. The basic idea is to apply the hierarchical identification principle to decompose the original system into two fictitious sub-systems and then to derive new iterative algorithms to estimate the parameters of each sub-system. Compared with the LSI algorithm and the interval-varying LSI algorithm, the decomposition-based iterative algorithms have less computational load. The numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms work quite well
