Reduced-Order Fault Estimator Design for Semi-Markov Jump Neural Networks Under the Weighted Try-Once-Discard Protocol
The actuator-fault estimation problem is addressed for discrete-time semi-Markov jump neural networks subject to time-varying delays, external disturbances, and communication constraints induced by the weighted try-once-discard (WTOD) protocol. Under this protocol, only the measurement channel with the largest weighted error is transmitted at each sampling instant, while the unselected channels retain their previously stored measurements at the filter side. To estimate the actuator fault, a fault-weighting dynamic system is first introduced. Then, by incorporating the WTOD-induced held measurement into the state vector, an augmented estimation model is constructed to describe the fault-weighting dynamics and the protocol-induced data-holding behavior within a unified framework. Based on this model, a mode-dependent and channel-dependent reduced-order fault-estimation filter is designed. The distinctive feature of the proposed framework is that the reconstruction of selected state components and the estimation of the actuator fault are addressed within a unified reduced-order estimator whose parameters depend jointly on the semi-Markov mode and the active WTOD transmission channel. By employing a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and using the semi-Markov transition information together with the WTOD scheduling constraint, sufficient LMI-based conditions are derived to ensure mean-square exponential stability and strict dissipativity performance of the resulting estimation error system. Finally, two examples are provided to illustrate the numerical effectiveness of the proposed actuator-fault estimation method under different semi-Markov switching realizations.- 16 August 2026

Design of Fixed-Time Fault-Disturbance Estimator for Emergency Rescue Quadrotor UAV Under Multi-Stage Mission Conditions
In this paper, the fixed-time fault-disturbance estimation problem for an emergency rescue quadrotor UAV during the takeoff–mission execution–landing process is investigated. Considering the complex operating conditions of rescue missions, actuator efficiency loss, actuator bias faults, rescue-environment airflow disturbances, payload-induced disturbances, near-ground aerodynamic effects, and unmodeled dynamic uncertainties are uniformly represented as a lumped fault disturbance entering the angular-velocity dynamic channel. A multi-stage disturbance model is first established according to the takeoff stage, mission execution stage, and landing stage. Then, a fixed-time fault-disturbance estimator with stage-dependent gains is designed to estimate the lumped disturbance. Based on matrix Lyapunov functions and fixed-time stability theory, it is proven that the angular-velocity estimation error and the lumped fault-disturbance estimation error can enter and remain in a small bounded neighborhood within a fixed time independent of the initial conditions. Moreover, the bounded disturbance jumps at the stage-transition instants are analyzed, and the post-transition recovery property of the estimator is established. The simulation results under a practical emergency rescue scenario show that the proposed estimator can reconstruct the main variation trends of the roll, pitch, and yaw channel lumped disturbances, keep the estimation error bounded, and recover after stage-transition-induced disturbance variations.
