Event-triggered dynamic output-feedback control for a class of Lipschitz nonlinear systems

Abstract

This paper investigates the problem of dynamic output-feedback control for a class of Lipschitz nonlinear systems. First, a continuous-time controller is constructed and sufficient conditions for stability of the nonlinear systems are presented. Then, a novel event-triggered mechanism is proposed for the Lipschitz nonlinear systems in which new event-triggered conditions are introduced. Consequently, a closed-loop hybrid system is obtained using the event-triggered control strategy. Sufficient conditions for stability of the closed-loop system are established in the framework of hybrid systems. In addition, an upper bound of a minimum inter-event interval is provided to avoid the Zeno phenomenon. Finally, numerical examples of a neural network system and a genetic regulatory network system are provided to verify the theoretical results and to show the superiority of the proposed method.
