Simultaneous Mode, Input and State Set-Valued Observers with Applications to Resilient Estimation Against Sparse Attacks (2001.07370v1)

Abstract: A simultaneous mode, input and state set-valued observer is proposed for hidden mode switched linear systems with bounded-norm noise and unknown input signals. The observer consists of two constituents: (i) a bank of mode-matched observers and (ii) a mode estimator. Each mode-matched observer recursively outputs the mode-matched sets of compatible states and unknown inputs, while the mode estimator eliminates incompatible modes, using a residual-based criterion. Then, the estimated sets of states and unknown inputs are the union of the mode-matched estimates over all compatible modes. Moreover, sufficient conditions to guarantee the elimination of all false modes are provided and the effectiveness of our approach is exhibited using an illustrative example.
