Robust Output Regulation of Linear Systems by Event-Triggered Dynamic Output Feedback Control

Abstract

In this article, we study the robust output regulation problem of linear systems by an event-triggered output feedback control law. We first summarize the solvability of the linear robust output regulation problem by the internal model design. Then, we implement this continuous-time control law by an event-triggered output feedback control law together with an output-based triggering mechanism. We show that, under almost the same solvability conditions as those for the linear robust output regulation problem, the robust output regulation problem can also be solved by an event-triggered output feedback control law without incurring Zeno phenomenon. Furthermore, we show that, it is possible to solve the robust output regulation problem practically while preventing the interevent time from approaching zero as time tends to infinity.
