Robust Kalman filtering for uncertain discrete-time systems

This paper is concerned with the problem of a Kalman filter design for uncertain discrete-time systems. The system under consideration is subjected to time-varying norm-bounded parameter uncertainty in both the state and output matrices. The problem addressed is the design of a linear filter such that the variance of the filtering error is guaranteed to be within a certain bound for all admissible uncertainties. Furthermore, the guaranteed cost can be optimized by appropriately searching a scaling design parameter.>
