ABSTRACT
In this paper, we consider the event-triggered control for a class of switched systems which are composed of one continuous-time subsystem and one discrete-time subsystem. The proposed event-triggered mechanism adopts the form of periodic triggering, which combines the advantages of periodic control and event-triggered control. Consequently, Zeno behaviour can be essentially eliminated. A criterion is presented to ensure the exponential stability of the closed-loop switched systems. In addition, we extend the above result to the case of the switched system with multiple continuous-time and discrete-time subsystems and the case of observer-based control. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the theoretical results.
