Design and analysis of robust fault detection filter using LMI tools

In this paper, the robust fault detection filter design problem for linear time invariant (LTI) systems with unknown inputs and modeling uncertainties is studied. The basic idea of our study is to formulate the robust fault detection filter design as a H∞H∞ model-matching problem. A solution of the optimal problem is then presented via a linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation. The main results include the formulation of robust fault detection filter design problems, the derivation of a sufficient condition for the existence of a robust fault detection filter and construction of a robust fault detection filter based on the iterative of LMI algorithm.
