Abstract

Abstract

This paper investigates the issue of bumpless transfer H_∞ filtering for a class of continuous-time switched linear systems. A new definition on admissible dual-modal persistent dwell-time (ADM-PDT) switching is presented, which is more general than the existing mode-dependent or admissible edge-dependent persistent dwell-time switching. To match the ADM-PDT switching, the dual-mode-dependent filter utilizing previous mode information is designed, which can enhance the performance of mode-dependent filter widely used in the literature. To smooth the filtering output bumps caused by switching filter, a novel dual-mode-dependent bumpless transfer filter is constructed by introducing a time-interpolation-function-dependent transition filter. Then, the criteria for stability and H_∞ performance analyses are derived based on a transition-dependent dual-modal Lyapunov function, ensuring that the filtering error systems driven by the bumpless transfer filter and ADM-PDT switching are globally uniformly asymptotically stable with a non-weighted H_∞ noise attenuation performance. Finally, the validity and superiority of the developed theoretical results are illustrated by using a numerical example and an unmanned marine vehicle system.
