Event-Triggered Synchronization of Switched Nonlinear System Based on Sampled Measurements.

This article considers the event-triggered synchronization problem for continuous-time switched nonlinear systems. Based on the sampled data of system output and mode, a mode-dependent event-triggered condition is provided to determine the data transmission. The synchronization error system with both delayed state and asynchronously switching signal are formulated by the input-delay method and switching signal merging techniques. Then, by the multiple Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, a new sufficient synchronization condition is obtained, from which the synchronizing controller can be designed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme is illustrated by one numerical example.
