TLDR
A number of methods for detecting abrupt changes (such as failures) in stochastic dynamical systems are surveyed in this paper, where tradeoffs in complexity versus performance are discussed, ranging from the design of specific failure-sensitive filters, to the use of statistical tests on filter innovations, and the development of jump process formulations.
Abstract
A number of methods for detecting abrupt changes (such as failures) in stochastic dynamical systems are surveyed. The class of linear systems is concentrated on but the basic concepts, if not the detailed analyses, carry over to other classes of systems. The methods surveyed range from the design of specific failure-sensitive filters, to the use of statistical tests on filter innovations, to the development of jump process formulations. Tradeoffs in complexity versus performance are discussed.

Secure sensor design against undetected infiltration: Minimum impact-minimum damage

TL;DR: A new defense mechanism against undetected infiltration into controllers in cyber-physical systems is proposed and a semi-definite programming based algorithm is provided to compute the optimal linear secure sensor outputs and analyze the performance for various scenarios numerically.

Detection of parametric faults

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered fault detection and fault isolation for systems including parametric faults, using a linear fractional transformation (LFT) description of parametric fault systems, the systems are transformed into equivalent systems including additive fault signals instead.

Non-linear minimum variance estimation for fault detection systems:

TL;DR: In this paper, a model-based algorithm for fault detection in stochastic linear and non-linear systems is proposed, where the nonlinear minimum variance estimation technique is used to generate a residual signal, which is then used to detect actuator and sensor faults in the system.

Fault detection in complex and distributed systems

TL;DR: This thesis investigates the problem of fault detection and isolation in complex and distributed systems, and develops a theoretical framework for modelling, detecting and isolating faults, using a mixture of conditional Gaussian transitions.

Piecewise switched Kalman filtering for sensor fault diagnosis in a DC/DC power converter

TL;DR: In this article, a residual-based fault diagnosis system that detects and localizes sensor faults in the examined system is designed, which extends the classic Kalman-based detection filter commonly used in linear time-invariant systems to a piecewise switched filter suitable for switched linear systems as those encountered in power electronics.
