Event-triggered control for switched linear systems: A control and switching joint triggering strategy

Abstract The present work addresses the stability issue of switched linear systems (SLSs) subject to event-triggered control. We presume that the feedback controller acquires the switching signals and systems state information only at event-triggered sampling instants. An event triggering strategy is presented for both control and switching. Meanwhile, sufficient condition is obtained to stabilize the event-triggered switched linear systems. In addition, we prove that the Zeno behavior can be excluded through the proposed event triggering strategy. Finally, the speed regulation of a turbofan engine model shows that the derived technique is practicable.
