Integral-based event-triggered control scheme for a general class of non-linear systems

In this study, an integral-based event-driven mechanism is proposed for a general class of non-linear systems. The proposed scheme is less conservative than earlier work on the subject and achieves asymptotic stability without forcing the derivative of the Lyapunov function to be negative between samples. A rigorous proof is given, showing that the proposed triggering condition is more effective than the corresponding traditional approaches. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution.
