1. Introduction
During the past few decades, there has been a rapidly growing interest in nonlinear stochastic systems. Based on the fundamental stochastic stability theory [1] and Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional [2], some results can be found in the literature [3] - [15]. Specifically, problems of stochastic stabilization and destabilization were studied for nonlinear differential equations by noise and impulsive stochastic nonlinear systems respectively in [4] [6] [10] [14]. References [5] [7] [11] [12] [15] investigated state-feedback and output feedback stabilization problems for stochastic nonlinear systems and stochastic delay nonlinear systems. Fault detection filter and full-order H∞ filter were provided for nonlinear stochastic systems and nonlinear switched stochastic systems in terms of second-order nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi inequalities and T-S fuzzy framework respectively in references [3] [8]. Dissipativity and tracking control problems were presented for nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems in references [9] [13].
On the other hand, increasing effort has been paid to the study of event-triggered control (ETC) of nonlinear stochastic systems due to their significance in science and engineering applications. Many important results have been presented for event-triggered control of nonlinear stochastic systems in references [16] - [24]. Dynamic event-triggered control, dynamic self-triggered control and event-triggered stability were investigated for a class of nonlinear stochastic systems by introducing an additional internal dynamic variable in [16] [17]. Based on event-triggered predictive control (ETPC) scheme, a novel discrete-time feedback law was designed for the stabilization of continuous-time stochastic systems with output delay in [24]. The input-to-state practically exponential mean-square stability of stochastic nonlinear delay systems with exogenous disturbances was provided and a framework of event-triggered stabilization was received for the stochastic systems without applying the well-known Lyapunov theorem respectively in [18] and [21]. Periodic event-generators and continuous event-enerators were studied in both static and dynamic cases in [19]. Reference [20] addressed the dynamic event-based fault detection problem of nonlinear stochastic systems influenced by random nonlinearity, data transmission delays and packet dropout. Based on fuzzy technique, the problem of event-triggered optimized control for uncertain nonlinear Itô-type stochastic systems with time-delay was addressed in [22]. The modified unscented Kalman filter was proposed for stochastic nonlinear system with Markov packet dropout in [23].
Although the problem of event-triggered control for nonlinear stochastic systems has been investigated, there has little literature on filtering problem for discrete-time nonlinear stochastic systems. With above inspirations, we aim to propose an event-triggered finite-time filtering scheme for discrete-time nonlinear stochastic systems with exogenous disturbance. We present the definition of SFTS into a class of discrete-time nonlinear stochastic systems. By employing the event-triggered strategy, we construct a detection filter such that the resulting filter error augmented system is SFTS. Sufficient conditions for SFTS of the filter error system is established by constructing the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional candidate combined with LMIs. The desired event-triggered finite-time filter can be constructed by solving a set of LMIs.
This paper is organized as the following. First, some preliminaries and the problem formulation are introduced in Section 2. In Section 3, in terms of event-triggered technique, a sufficient condition for SFTS of the filter error system is established and a method for designing the corresponding filter is presented. Finally, some conclusions are drawn in Section 4.

4. Conclusion
In this paper, we have introduced the concept of SFTS into a class of discrete-time nonlinear stochastic systems with exogenous disturbances. We have addressed the event-triggered finite-time filter designing problem. A sufficient condition is provided to guarantee the SFTS of the filter error system. For the presented event-triggering schemes, the criteria for the event-based filter residual systems with a prescribed performance level γ were established by adopting Lyapunov-Krasovski function method. Sufficient conditions for H∞ performance analysis and corresponding filter designing technique have been provided in a given finite-time interval in terms of LMIs technique, respectively.
