This paper is devoted to the problem of robust H 1 filtering for a class of uncertain switched neutral systems subject to stochastic disturbance and time-varying delay. Attention is focused on the design of a full-order switched filter such that the filtering error system is robust mean-square exponentially stable with a prescribed weighted H 1 performance. On the basis of the average dwell time approach and the piecewise Lyapunov function technique, sufficient conditions for the solvability of this problem are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Then, by solving the corresponding linear matrix inequalities, the desired full-order switched filter is derived for all admissible uncertainties, time-varying delay, and stochastic disturbances. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright ROBUST H 1 FILTERING 463 as well as practical applications, analysis and synthesis of these systems have gained considerable attention [7][8][9][10][11]. Moreover, the filtering problem has also been investigated for continuous-time and discrete-time switched systems [12][13][14][15], respectively. Recently, because stochastic modeling comes to play a key role in many real systems, much important progress is made on the stochastic hybrid systems [16][17][18][19]. Some papers on the filtering problem for these systems are investigated in [20][21][22][23][24]. The authors in [21] study H 1 filtering problem for stochastic systems with Markovian switching. On the basis of the switched Lyapunov function method, the H 1 filtering problem for discretetime switched systems with missing measurements is considered in [23]. In [24], reduced-order L 2 L 1 filtering problem is investigated for switched stochastic systems without uncertainties and time delays.On the other hand, it has been shown that many practical systems can be modeled by using functional differential equations of the neutral type. As for these more general class systems involving the derivative of the delayed state, the stability analysis and synthesis issues are proved to be much more difficult than those of the retarded type. Such kind of delay systems with the neutral type in both the deterministic and stochastic cases have been studied [25][26][27][28]. For instance, the problems of stability and stochastic stability for neutral systems are investigated in [25,26], respectively. The robust H 1 control and filtering problems for these systems are also addressed in [27][28][29]. However, given the significance of switched systems analyzed previously and the complexity in dealing with neutrality, only few attempts on stability and control synthesis are made for switched neutral systems [30][31][32]. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, up to date, no results on the H 1 filter design for switched neutral systems are reported, not to mention the case when the stochastic disturbances and time-varying delays are taken into account.Motivated by the aforementioned discussion, in this paper, we study the problem of rob...
