This paper studies a method of designing robust output estimators for discrete-time linear periodically timevarying (LPTV) systems with uncertainties. The key idea is to use not the well-known lifting technique but that called cycling for dealing with LPTV systems in the estimator synthesis. Robustness for uncertainties in the estimation is evaluated with the separator-type robust stability theorem through such cycling-based treatment of systems. An advantage of our cycling-based approach, compared to the lifting-based approach, is that we can easily introduce restrictions on the coefficients of estimators in the synthesis for predetermining the estimator period regardless of the system period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
