Zero-order-hold triggered control of a chain of integrators with an arbitrary sampling period

Abstract

We propose a zero-order-hold triggered control for a chain of integrators with an arbitrary sampling period. We analytically show that our control scheme globally asymptotically stabilizes the considered system. The key feature is that the pre-specified sampling period can be enlarged as desired by adjusting a gain-scaling factor. An example with various simulation results is given for clear illustration.
