Analysis and Synthesis for Networked Multi-Rate Systems

This book presents novel state estimation methods for several classes of networked multi-rate systems including state estimation methods for networked multi-rate systems with various complex networked-induced phenomena and communication protocols. The systems investigated include stochastic nonlinear systems, time-delay systems, linear repetitive processes, and artificial neural networks. The techniques used are mainly the Lyapunov stability theory, the optimal estimation theory, the lifting technique, and certain convex optimization method.

Features

• Gives a systematic investigation of the state estimation of multi-rate systems
• Discusses results on state estimation problems under network-induced complexities
• Studies different kinds of multi-rate systems including multi-rate nonlinear systems, multi-rate neural networks, and multi-rate linear repetitive processes
• Explores network-enhanced complexities and communication protocols
