Adaptive Event-triggered Output Feedback Control for Large-scale Nonlinear Time-delay Systems With Dead-zone Input

This paper focuses on the event-triggered output feedback control problem for a class of large-scale nonlinear time-delay systems with asymmetric dead-zone input. Without knowing the precise priori knowledge of dead-zone parameters, an event-triggered output feedback control strategy is developed based on the dynamic gain design approach. It is proved by the Lyapunov analysis that all signals of the closed-loop system are globally bounded and the system states converge to a bounded region which is adjustable. Moreover, the Zeno behavior is avoided. Compared with the existing results, the considered nonlinear system allows more general growth condition, and the proposed event-triggered control strategy effectively handles dead-zone input, time delay and the more general nonlinear characteristic. Finally, an example is used to illustrate the validity of the proposed control strategy.
