General computational approach for optimal fault detection

Kurzfassung

We propose a new computational approach to solve the optimal fault detection problem in the most general setting. The proposed procedure is free of any technical assumptions and is applicable to both proper and non-proper systems. This procedure forms the basis of an integrated numerically reliable state-space algorithm, which relies on powerful descriptor systems techniques to solve the underlying computational subproblems. The new algorithm has been implemented into a Fault Detection Toolbox for Matlab.
