Event-Triggered Output Synchronization in Master-Slave Lur’e Systems with Heterogeneous Dimensions

In this paper, the problem of event-triggered output synchronization is investigated in a class of master-slave Lur’e systems with heterogeneous dimensions. By designing an improved event-triggered strategy via sampled-data transmission, a novel stability criterion on the error system is formulated and the synchronization ones are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). In particular, the proposed results can be easily checked and the controller gains can be achieved by solving the derived LMIs. Furthermore, the previously neglected information can be fully considered and the conservatism can be efficiently reduced. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the presented results.
