Master-slave H∞ synchronization for switched systems with event-triggered sampling scheme

In this paper, master-slaveH_∞ synchronization problem for a class of switched systems with event-triggered sampling scheme is studied. In order to realize the master-slave H_∞ synchronization for switched systems, we impose model matching conditions to derive an error system, based on which a network based tracking controller is designed. Meanwhile, for the purpose of reducing the network traffic and the computation cost of the controller, an event-triggered sampling scheme is taken to consideration. Consequently, based on Lyapunov functional theory, sufficient conditions are developed such that the network-based H_∞ synchronization problem are solvable.
