Abstract:
A static output feedback based event-triggered control mechanism for a class of switched nonlinear systems with a passivity property is proposed in this paper. Each subsystem of such a switched system does not necessarily have passivity in the classical sense, while maintaining the passivity property only on the active time intervals. Moreover, passivity is based on multiple storage functions and the storage functions are allowed to increase at switching instants. The proposed event-triggered output feedback controller can not only maintain asymptotic stability but also exclude Zeno behavior under some conditions. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
