Robust filtering for a class of local strongly coupled systems

This paper addresses the H∞ filtering problem for a kind of local strongly coupled systems. We introduce a local strongly coupled system with communication between the nodes. Applying the H∞ filter design procedures to such systems is difficult because of intermittent communication. By using the stochastic theory, we present the H∞ filtering problem in terms of the full system dynamics. The numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed filtering method.
