Non-fragile H∞ control for event-triggered networked control systems with probabilistic time-varying delay

This paper studies the non-fragile output-feedback H-infinity control problem for event-triggered networked control system with probabilistic time-varying delay and controller gain uncertainties. With known conditional probability distribution, the time-varying delay is modelled as a Bernoulli distributed white sequences. An improved two-side closed-loop functional is constructed by using the sawtooth structure characteristic of artificial time delay. By applying the Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory, the lower conservative stability criterions for time-delay system are derived. Aiming at the external disturbance and the parameter uncertainty of controller gain, a non-fragile output-feedback H-infinity control strategy based on event-triggered mechanism is proposed. Moreover, a co-design scheme of controller gain and event-triggered matrix is obtained based on linear matrix inequality technique. Finally, three simulation examples are utilised to verify the effectiveness of the presented method.
