Periodic Event-Triggered Output-Feedback Stabilization for Stochastic Systems.

Abstract

This article is devoted to explore the periodic event-triggered stabilization for continuous-time stochastic systems, and to develop analysis tools/methods for stochastic periodic event-triggered control. Notably, without real-time monitoring of system behavior as in the scenario with continuous event evaluation, it is critical to delicately estimate and govern the execution/sampling error to achieve the desired system performance. This, under stochastic effects, would be substantially challenging, since the behavior of the stochastic system is hard to predict and is disparate between trials even with the same initial conditions. In this article, a framework of global stabilization via periodic event-triggered output-feedback is established: 1) a criterion condition based on the ISS-Lyapunov function is presented for the feasibility of the desired event-triggered stabilization; 2) both the asymptotic stabilization and exponential stabilization are achieved for the systems, with delicately specifying the periodic event-triggering mechanism; and 3) the involved analysis, without applying the well-known Lyapunov theorems, can serve as a pattern from estimating sampling and execution errors to assess the closed-loop stability for stochastic periodic event-triggered control. Moreover, based on the established framework, we contribute the stabilizing controller design via periodic event-triggered output-feedback for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems.
