Event-triggered finite-time resilient control for switched systems: an observer-based approach and its applications to a boost converter circuit system model

Abstract

Under an event-triggered communication scheme (ETCS), this note focuses on the observer-based finite-time resilient control problem for a class of switched systems. Different from the existing finite-time problems, not only the problem of finite-time boundedness (FTBs) but also the problem of input-output finite-time stability (IO-FTSy) are considered in this paper. To effectively use the network resources, an ETCS is formulated for switched systems. Considering that not all the states could be measured, thus an event-triggered observer is constructed, and then, an observer-based resilient controller is devised, which robustly stabilizes the given systems in the meaning of finite-time control. Based on time-delay method and Lyapunov functional approach, interesting results are derived to verify the properties of the FTBs and the IO-FTSy of the event-triggered (ET) closed-loop error switched systems. All the matrix inequalities can be converted to linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) so as to simultaneously obtain the controller gain and observer gain. Finally, the applicability of the proposed control scheme is verified via a boost converter circuit system.
