Suboptimal Event-Triggered Control for Time-Delayed Linear Systems

This technical note considers event-triggering conditions and controller synthesis approaches for delayed linear systems. Optimization problems for minimizing the upper bound of quadratic cost functions are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). By solving the optimization problems a unique control gain can be obtained. The performance considered in this technical note includes a linear quadratic cost function for quantifying the control performance and average event times at which the control input must be updated for quantifying the transmission reductions. Comparisons with other approaches in the literature are given to demonstrate the advantages with respect to the two performance indices. Furthermore, an experimental implementation of the proposed methods in an inverted pendulum system shows the applicability and effectiveness in real world.
