“…A control system is called a networked control system (NCS) if control system components, that is, plants, controllers, sensors, and actuators, are connected through a communication network. Because of several attractive advantages, such as lower cost, more flexibility, and higher reliability, NCSs have been found a wide range of applications in areas including unmanned surface vehicles [7], van der Pol-Duffing oscillators [8], transportation systems, power systems, and offshore platforms [9,10], and there are many results in the literature [11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, due to limited bandwidth of a communication network, the occurrence of network-induced delays and other In this paper, we deal with the H 1 control problem for a class of nonlinear NCSs, aiming at presenting an efficient approach to designing suitable event-triggered H 1 controllers such that precious communication resources can be saved significantly while maintaining desired closed-loop system performance.…”
