Zonotopic set-membership state estimation for discrete-time descriptor LPV systems

This technical note proposes a novel set-membership state estimation approach based on zonotopes for discrete-time descriptor linear parameter-varying systems. The consistency test between the system model and measured outputs is implemented to construct a parameterized intersection zonotope with respect to a correction matrix. With a defined zonotope minimization criterion, we propose a novel offline optimization problem to obtain the optimal correction matrix. In addition, with the proposed approach, an adaptive bound of the radius of the intersection zonotope is also provided. Finally, a case study with a truck-trailer system is shown to illustrate the proposed approach.
