Robust passive filtering for continuous-time polytopic uncertain time-delay systems

To obtain a stable and proper linear filter to make the filtering error system robustly and strictly passive, the problem of full-order robust passive filtering for continuous-time polytopic uncertain time-delay systems was investigated. A criterion for the passivity of time-delay systems was firstly provided in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Then an LMI sufficient condition for the existence of a robust filter was established and a design procedure was proposed for this type of systems. A numerical example demonstrated the feasibility of the filtering design procedure.
