Adaptive Event-Triggered Control for Switched <i>p</i>-Normal Nonlinear Systems via Output Feedback
Feng Shu, Junyong Zhai
Abstract
This article studies the issue of adaptive event-triggered output-feedback control for switched p -normal nonlinear systems with the unknown homogeneous growth rate. A homogeneous output-feedback controller is first designed for nominal nonlinear systems based on adding one power integrator technique. Then, a dynamic gain technique is introduced to deal with the difficulty caused by the unknown homogeneous growth rate. With an elaborate design of the adaptive law of the dynamic gain, a novel adaptive event-triggered output-feedback controller is developed to ensure that the closed-loop system is globally asymptotically stable. Meanwhile, a new analysis way is proposed to prove that the Zeno behavior is excluded in the event-triggered control system. Finally, two examples are provided to indicate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
