%A A. Kurzhanski %A K. Sugimoto %A I. Valyi %J International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing %T Guranteed state estimation for dynamical systems: Ellipsoidal techniques %X This paper gives a concise description of effective solutions to the guaranteed state estimation problems for dynamic systems with uncertain items being unknown but bounded. It indicates a rather unconventional, rigorous theory for these problems based on the notion of evolution equations of the ‘funnel’ type which could be further transformed - through exact ellipsoidal representations - into algorithmic procedures that allow effective simulation, particularly with computer graphics. the estimation problem is also interpreted as a problem of tracking a partially known system under incomplete measurements. Mathematically, the technique described in this paper is based on a theory of set-valued evolution equations with the approximation of solutions formulated in terms of set-valued calculus by ellipsoidal-valued functions. %N 1 %P 85-101 %V 8 %D 1994 %I John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. %R 10.1002/acs.4480080108 %L iiasa13592
