STABILITY ANALYSIS OF INFINITE-DIMENSIONAL EVENT-TRIGGERED AND SELF-TRIGGERED CONTROL SYSTEMS WITH LIPSCHITZ PERTURBATIONS

Abstract

This paper addresses the following question: “Suppose that a state-feedback controller stabilizes an infinite-dimensional linear continuous-time system. If we choose the parameters of an event/self-triggering mecha-nism appropriately, is the event/self-triggered control system stable under all sufficiently small nonlinear Lipschitz perturbations?” We assume that the stabilizing feedback operator is compact. This assumption is used to guarantee the strict positiveness of inter-event times and the existence of the mild solution of evolution equations with unbounded control operators. First, for the case where the control operator is bounded, we show that the answer to the above question is positive, giving a sufficient condition for exponential stabil-ity, which can be employed for the design of event/self-triggering mechanisms. Next, we investigate the case where the control operator is unbounded and prove that the answer is still positive for periodic event-triggering mechanisms.
