This article proposes event-triggered proportional-derivative control for a class of nonlinear network control systems. For derivative action of the proposed proportional-derivative control, a novel event-triggering scheme is devised together with the control that considers a differential of a triggered state. The class of the nonlinear network systems is represented as a Lur'e system to consider various nonlinear cases. Time varying transmission delay is considered which can be defined by lower and upper delay bounds. The proposed proportional-derivative control is designed by Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability analysis, and the design condition is presented by linear matrix inequalities. The proposed event-triggered proportional-derivative control and event-triggering condition are verified with numerical simulation.
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.
