Event‐triggered finite‐time H ∞ output tracking control of switched systems with round‐robin protocol and its applications

Abstract In this article, the finite‐time H ∞ output tracking control problem is addressed for the networked switched systems. A hybrid event‐triggered scheme is introduced to reduce the network transmission overload. A round‐robin communication protocol is structured to determine the access rights of the sensor and alleviate the bandwidth pressure as well. Sufficient criteria for finite‐time stability of the closed‐loop systems with asynchronous switching characteristics are derived by resorting to a double‐mode dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional. Finally, an application example of the buck‐boost converter circuit model is demonstrated to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed methods.
