Event-triggered Transmission Protocol in Robust Control Systems

Controlling uncertain networked control system (NCS) with limited communication among subcomponents is a challenging task and event-based sampling helps resolve the issue. This book considers event-triggered scheme as a transmission protocol to negotiate information exchange in resilient control for NCS via a robust control algorithm to regulate the closed loop behavior of NCS in the presence of mismatched uncertainty with limited feedback information. It includes robust control algorithm for linear and nonlinear systems with verification.

Features:

• Describes optimal control based robust control law for event-triggered systems.
• States results in terms of Theorems and Lemmas supported with detailed proofs.
• Presents the combination of network interconnected systems and robust control strategy.
• Includes algorithmic steps for precise understanding of the control technique.
• Covers detailed problem statement and proposed solutions along with numerical examples.

This book aims at Senior undergraduate, Graduate students, and Researchers in Control Engineering, Robotics and Signal Processing.
