Decentralized summation-based triggering mechanism for Lipschitz nonlinear systems.

Mousavi, Seyed Hossein; Marquez, Horacio J.

In this paper, a decentralized event-based triggering mechanism for a class of nonlinear control systems is studied. It is assumed that the measurement sensors are geographically distributed and so local event generator modules are employed. Then, a novel periodic triggering condition is proposed for each module, which can potentially reduce the information exchange between subsystems compared with traditional control approaches, while maintaining closed-loop asymptotic stability. The triggering condition parameters are designed through a convex optimization problem with LMI constraints. Finally, simulations are carried out to illustrate the performance of the introduced scheme. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
