Abstract

Optimal estimators of systems with interrupted measurements are infinite dimensional, because these systems belong to the class of hybrid systems. This renders the calculation of a lower bound for the estimation error of the interruption process in these systems of particular interest. Recently it has been shown that a Cramér-Rao-type lower bound on the interruption process estimation error is trivially zero. In the present work a nonzero lower bound for a class of systems with Markovian interruption variables is proposed. Derivable using the well known Weiss-Weinstein bound, this lower bound can be easily evaluated using a simple recursive algorithm. The proposed lower bound depends on the ability to decrease the state uncertainty using a single measurement and permits, in some cases, efficient estimators.
