Reliable H∞ output control of nonlinear systems with dynamic event-triggered scheme

This paper is concerned with the reliable event-triggered H-infinity output control of nonlinear systems with actuator faults. A dynamic triggering scheme depending on system outputs is implemented to reduce the amount of communication transmissions, which is different from existing constant triggering thresholds. The parameters of actuator faults are estimated via observer state. To compensate for the fault effects on systems, the reliable controller parameters are adjusted along with the obtained estimations. By using some technical lemmas, new sufficient conditions for the closed-loop system to be asymptotically stable with prescribed H-infinity performance are formed in linear matrix inequalities. Lastly, simulations are implemented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. (C) 2018 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
