Event-triggered sampling and control of switched delay systems

The event-triggered control has been paid lots of attention due to its effectiveness and flexibility of reducing congestion and saving cost on designing of network control systems. However, few results have appeared on event-triggered control for switched delay systems. We thus consider the event-triggered sampling and stabilization problem for switched linear delay systems in this paper. The event considered here means the error signal exceeding a dynamic threshold. The event-triggered sampler updates and transfers the state information when an event is triggered. The switching signal is given satisfying an average dwell time condition, under which globally exponential stability of the switched delay system can be guaranteed.
