Event‐triggered practical finite‐time output feedback stabilisation for switched non‐linear time‐delay systems

Abstract

This study investigates the event-triggered practical finite-time output feedback control for a class of switched high-order non-linear time-delay systems with uncertain control coefficients. A reduced-order observer is first constructed to estimate the unmeasurable states. By adding a power integrator technique, an event-triggered output feedback controller is designed for the nominal system. Subsequently, the constructed observer and controller are scaled with a suitable gain by homogeneous domination approach, which, together with an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasoviskii functional, can render that the uncertain switched high-order non-linear system with time-varying delay is practical finite-time stability. Finally, two examples are provided to demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme.
