Asynchronous Event-Triggered Observation and Control of Linear Systems via Impulsive Observers

In this paper we investigate the observation and stabilization problems of a linear plant subject to network constraints and partial state knowledge, making use of the event-triggered technique. In order to address these problems, an impulsive observer is designed. Sufficient conditions are given to ensure a milder version of separation principle for linear systems controlled via an event-triggered controller. The proposed observer ensures practical state estimation, while the corresponding dynamic controller ensures practical stabilization. The sampling and the transmission of the output and the input are done asynchronously. The dynamic controller is tested in simulation on the linearized inverted pendulum.
