The incomplete measurements include both the multiple random communication delays and random packet losses, which are modeled by a unified stochastic expression in terms of a set of indicator functions that is dependent on certain stochastic variable. The nonlinear functions are assumed to satisfy the sector nonlinearities. The purpose of the addressed filtering problem is to design a linear filter such that the filtering-error dynamics is exponentially mean-square stable. By using the linear-matrix-inequality (LMI) method and delay-dependent technique, sufficient conditions are derived which are dependent on the occurrence probability of both the random communication delays and missing measurement. The filter gain is then characterized by the solution to a set of LMIs. A simulation example is exploited to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design procedures

The system under study is not only corrupted by state-dependent white noises but also disturbed by exogenous inputs. The measurement output contains randomly missing data that is modeled by a Bernoulli distributed white sequence with a known conditional probability. A filter of very general form is first designed such that the filtering process is stochastically stable and the filtering error satisfies H infin performance constraint for all admissible missing observations and nonzero exogenous disturbances under the zero-initial condition. The existence conditions of the desired filter are described in terms of a second-order nonlinear inequality. Such an inequality can be decoupled into some auxiliary ones that can be solved independently by taking special form of the Lyapunov functionals. As a consequence, a linear time-invariant filter design problem is discussed for the benefit of practical applications, and some simplified conditions are obtained. Finally, two numerical simulation examples are given to illustrate the main results of this paper
Variance-constrained multiobjective control and filtering for nonlinear stochastic systems: A survey
The multiobjective control and filtering problems for nonlinear stochastic systems with variance constraints are surveyed. First, the concepts of nonlinear stochastic systems are recalled along with the introduction of some recent advances. Then, the covariance control theory, which serves as a practical method for multi-objective control design as well as a foundation for linear system theory, is reviewed comprehensively. The multiple design requirements frequently applied in engineering practice for the use of evaluating system performances are introduced, including robustness, reliability, and dissipativity. Several design techniques suitable for the multi-objective variance-constrained control and filtering problems for nonlinear stochastic systems are discussed. In particular, as a special case for the multi-objective design problems, the mixed H 2 / H ∞ control and filtering problems are reviewed in great detail. Subsequently, some latest results on the variance-constrained multi-objective control and filtering problems for the nonlinear stochastic systems are summarized. Finally, conclusions are drawn, and several possible future research directions are pointed out
Quantized H-Infinity control for nonlinear stochastic time-delay systems with missing measurements
This is the post-print version of the Article. The official published version can be accessed from the link below - Copyright @ 2012 IEEEIn this paper, the quantized H∞ control problem is investigated for a class of nonlinear stochastic time-delay network-based systems with probabilistic data missing. A nonlinear stochastic system with state delays is employed to model the networked control systems where the measured output and the input signals are quantized by two logarithmic quantizers, respectively. Moreover, the data missing phenomena are modeled by introducing a diagonal matrix composed of Bernoulli distributed stochastic variables taking values of 1 and 0, which describes that the data from different sensors may be lost with different missing probabilities. Subsequently, a sufficient condition is first derived in virtue of the method of sector-bounded uncertainties, which guarantees that the closed-loop system is stochastically stable and the controlled output satisfies H∞ performance constraint for all nonzero exogenous disturbances under the zero-initial condition. Then, the sufficient condition is decoupled into some inequalities for the convenience of practical verification. Based on that, quantized H∞ controllers are designed successfully for some special classes of nonlinear stochastic time-delay systems by using Matlab linear matrix inequality toolbox. Finally, a numerical simulation example is exploited to show the effectiveness and applicability of the results derived.This work was supported in part by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the U.K. under Grant GR/S27658/01, the Leverhulme Trust of the U.K., the Royal Society of the U.K., the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61028008, 61134009, 61104125, 60974030, and 61074016, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
Can the Bump be Observed in the Early Afterglow of GRBS with X-Ray Line Emission Features?
Extremely powerful emission lines are observed in the X-ray afterglow of
several GRBs. The energy contained in the illuminating continuum which is
responsible for the line production exceeds 10 erg, much higher than
that of the collimated GRBs. It constrains the models which explain the
production of X-ray emission lines. In this paper, We argue that this energy
can come from a continuous postburst outflow. Focusing on a central engine of
highly magnetized millisecond pulsar or magnetar we find that afterglow can be
affected by the illuminating continuum, and therefore a distinct achromatic
bump may be observed in the early afterglow lightcurves. With the luminosity of
the continuous outflow which produces the line emission, we define the upper
limit of the time when the bump feature appears. We argue that the reason why
the achromatic bumps have not been detected so far is that the bumps should
appear at the time too early to be observed.Comment: 13 pags, 2 tables, appear in v603 n1 pt1 ApJ March 1, 2004 issu

Robust filtering for gene expression time series data with variance constraints
This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obtained from the link below - Copyright 2007 Taylor & Francis Ltd.In this paper, an uncertain discrete-time stochastic system is employed to represent a model for gene regulatory networks from time series data. A robust variance-constrained filtering problem is investigated for a gene expression model with stochastic disturbances and norm-bounded parameter uncertainties, where the stochastic perturbation is in the form of a scalar Gaussian white noise with constant variance and the parameter uncertainties enter both the system matrix and the output matrix. The purpose of the addressed robust filtering problem is to design a linear filter such that, for the admissible bounded uncertainties, the filtering error system is Schur stable and the individual error variance is less than a prespecified upper bound. By using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, sufficient conditions are first derived for ensuring the desired filtering performance for the gene expression model. Then the filter gain is characterized in terms of the solution to a set of LMIs, which can easily be solved by using available software packages. A simulation example is exploited for a gene expression model in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design procedures.This work was supported in part by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK under Grants GR/S27658/01 and EP/C524586/1, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) of the UK under Grants BB/C506264/1 and 100/EGM17735, the Nuffield Foundation of the UK under Grant NAL/00630/G, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
