Neural network-based H∞ filtering for nonlinear systems with time-delays

A novel H∞ design methodology for a neural network-based nonlinear filtering scheme is addressed.Firstly,neural networks are employed to approximate the nonlinearities.Next,the nonlinear dynamic system is represented by the mode-dependent linear difference inclusion (LDI).Finally,based on the LDI model,a neural network-based nonlinear filter (NNBNF) is developed to minimize the upper bound of H∞ gain index of the estimation error under some linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints.Compared with the existing nonlinear filters,NNBNF is time-invariant and numerically tractable.The validity and applicability of the proposed approach are successfully demonstrated in an illustrative example.
