In this article, we study the robust output regulation problem of linear systems by an event-triggered output feedback control law. We first summarize the solvability of the linear robust output regulation problem by the internal model design. Then, we implement this continuous-time control law by an event-triggered output feedback control law together with an output-based triggering mechanism. We show that, under almost the same solvability conditions as those for the linear robust output regulation problem, the robust output regulation problem can also be solved by an event-triggered output feedback control law without incurring Zeno phenomenon. Furthermore, we show that, it is possible to solve the robust output regulation problem practically while preventing the interevent time from approaching zero as time tends to infinity.

In this paper, we study the cooperative global robust practical output regulation problem for a class of second-order uncertain nonlinear multiagent systems via a distributed event-triggered state feedback control strategy. Compared with the existing work, one of the main challenges is that we need to design two distributed internal models to learn both the desired steady-state state and steady-state input for each agent. Moreover, to obtain a directly implementable digital control law, the two distributed internal models of each agent only depend on the sampled states of the neighboring agents and itself. As a result, the resulting augmented system is more complicated, and the control law needs to be recursively designed. To overcome the difficulty, we propose a novel distributed event-triggered control law and a novel distributed event-triggered mechanism to deal with our problem. By adjusting a design parameter in the proposed event-triggered mechanism, we show that the Zeno behavior does not happen and the ultimate bound of the tracking error can be made arbitrarily small. Our design will be illustrated by two examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This note studies the global robust output regulation problem for a class of nonlinear systems by an output-based event-triggered control law. First, we convert the problem into the event-triggered global robust stabilization problem of a well-defined augmented system based on the internal model approach. Then, we design an output-based event-triggered control law together with an output-based event-triggered mechanism to solve the stabilization problem, which in turn leads to the solution to the original problem by an output-based event-triggered control law. Finally, we illustrate our approach by an example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
