Abstract
In this brief note, a probability theory approach is proposed to investigate the stability analysis issue for a class of networked sampled-data systems with packet dropouts. The continuous-time linear system under consideration is first transformed into a discrete-time system, where the system matrix of the discrete-time system is characterized by stochastic characteristic. Then, by the matrix exponential computation, an equivalent discrete-time stochastic system is established. Based on this, a controller is designed by the law of total expectation, which guarantees the stochastic stability of the closed-loop stochastic system. Finally, a numerical example and an example using power grid with IEEE 4-bus line are used to verify the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed design algorithm.
