PERTURBATIONS IN NETWORKED CONTROL SYSTEMS

In this paper we study the effect of external perturbations on a networked control system. We start by assuming that the nonnetworked system without perturbation is exponentially stable. Then, for fast enough networks we show that if the perturbation is bounded the networked system is ultimately bounded and if the perturbation is vanishing then the networked system is asymptotically stable. We conclude the paper with simulations verifying the results.
