On a small-gain approach to distributed event-triggered control

Abstract

We consider large-scale systems stabilized by distributedcontrollers, which communicate over a limited sharedmedium. In this context it is of interest to reduce the communicationload. An approach in this direction is eventtriggeredsampling, which attempts only to send “relevant”data. In order to treat the large-scale case, a combinationof ISS small-gain results with ideas from event-triggering ispresented
