Event-triggered sliding mode control. A new approach to control system design (Q1650633)

This book deals with an approach to design sliding mode control for systems described by ordinary differential equations, using the so called event-triggered strategies. A sequence of discrete time instants is generated according to suitable rules. The control signal is computed at every sampling instant and applied to the plant during two consecutive instants. Event-triggered strategy is developed determining the sampling instants such that the desired performance (quite often some form of stability) is achieved. After a short introduction to sliding modes and event-triggered control (where the name of Riemann is mispelled as Reimann), the book discusses event-triggered sliding mode control for linear and nonlinear systems, self-triggered and discrete event-triggered sliding mode control for linear systems, and event-triggered sliding mode control with quantized state measurements. Numerical examples and simulation results are presented.
