Event triggered control and exponential stability for infinite dimensional linear systems

This article aims at providing a unified analysis of the exponential stabilization of some abstract infinite dimensional systems undergoing an event-triggering mechanism that samples the control input. The partial differential equation is supposed to be defined by a skew-adjoint operator and controlled and observed through bounded operators. The continuously controlled closed loop system is assumed to be exponentially stable and the goal is to prove that a well-designed event-triggering mechanism to rule the time updates of the sampled control will allow to keep such a stability property. The key of the proof relies on the existence of an adequate Lyapunov functional. Existence and regularity of the solution to the closed-loop event-triggered system are also proven, along with the avoidance of Zeno behavior.
