Algebraic Riccati Inequality and H ∞ Filter
, 1997 利用代数rICCATI不等式技术，给出H∞滤波器设计方案；还给出卡尔曼滤波器及lQ控制满足H∞性能指标的充分条件.代数rICCATI不等式技术的优点就在于可以兼顾H∞性能指标与其他性能指标.Using the technique of algebraic Riccati inequality, the author not only can design H ∞ Filter, but also can give the suFFicient condition of Kalman Filter and
