Self-triggered control for the stabilization of linear systems
Résumé
Contrary to the classical (time-triggered) principle that samples the system states and calculates the control signal in a periodic fashion, a self-triggered control predicts the next time at which the states must be sampled and the control signal updated and applied. The main advantage of self-triggered control implementation is that it eliminates the resource utilization for continuously monitoring the states. In this paper, a new self-triggered control strategy is proposed. We propose to emulate the universal event-based formula - developed in previous work - to calculate the feedback law and the next activation time. We claim that our proposal behaves better than the existing self-triggered approaches due to the universal formula properties. The study is restricted to the stabilization of linear systems. Some simulations are presented comparing the proposal with existing techniques.
