Distributed estimator design for moving targets based on weights assignment

This paper considers a central estimator design problem for stationary targets or moving targets based on weights assignment by a group of agents. A general form of estimator is first proposed. We then introduce the definitions of the converging central estimator. Then the central estimator is constructed by a new information assignment function and the information feedback function. Furthermore, the convergence of the proposed central estimator is performed by Lyapunov theory. Finally, a simulation example is presented to show the availability of the presented method.
