Event-triggered robust H∞ control for uncertain networked control systems with time delay:

H∞ control for networked control systems with exogenous disturbances and norm-bounded parameter uncertainties has been extensively investigated. However, how to better use the limited network capacity and computation resources while reducing the conservativeness of the H∞ control is still not fully understood. This paper presents a new dynamic discrete event-triggered scheme with improved modelling and control design to tackle this problem. The event-triggering is designed with periodic data sampling, and consequently the closed-loop system is formulated as a unified time-delayed model with the sampled data. From this model, an augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is constructed with triple-integral terms. A new free-weight matrix technique and the Wirtinger-based inequality are utilized over the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional to derive a less conservative controller. This leads to two delay-range-dependent stability criteria in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Integrating all these components for...
