This paper considers the stabilization of nonlinear continuous-time dynamical systems employing periodic eventtriggered control (PETC). Assuming knowledge of a stabilizing feedback law for the continuous-time system with a certain convergence rate, a dynamic, state dependent PETC mechanism is designed. The proposed mechanism guarantees on average the same worst case convergence behavior except for tunable deviations. Furthermore, a new approach to determine the sampling period for the proposed PETC mechanism is presented. This approach as well as the actual trigger rule exploit the theory of non-monotonic Lyapunov functions. An additional feature of the proposed PETC mechanism is the possibility to integrate knowledge about packet losses in the PETC design. The proposed PETC mechanism is illustrated with a nonlinear numerical example from literature. This paper is the accepted version of [1], containing also the proofs of the main results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
