Event-triggered aperiodic intermittent control for linear time-varying systems

This paper considers the aperiodic intermittent control (AIC) for linear time-varying systems (LTVSs), where the occurrence instants are determined by an event triggering mechanism based on Lyapunov functions. For LTVSs, most of the existing results are demanded that the feedback controls are exerted all the time. In fact, in many practical applications, the applied controls are unnecessary/impossible to be imposed all the time. Therefore, the event-triggered AIC is introduced in this paper for LTVSs, and the uniformly stability, globally asymptotic stability and finite-time stability are proposed for LTVSs with event-triggered AIC, respectively. In addition, by using the piecewise constant feedback control method, effective intermittent controllers are designed for LTVSs. Finally, we present two numerical examples to illustrate the efficacy of the derived results.
