Distributed Estimator Design for a Formation with Markovian Communication Topology
Maxim V. Subbotin, Roy S. Smith · Proceedings of the ... American Control Conference/Proceedings of the American Control Conference · 2007
A solution to the synthesis problem of distributed decentralized estimator for a formation of agents using local measurements and inter-agent communication is proposed. Agents can communicate between each other through digital unidirectional links modeled with two-state Markov chains which results in a stochastic communication topology. The design procedure is based on convex optimization problem formulated with linear matrix inequalities (LMIs).
