Abstract

Performance-barrier event-triggered control (P-ETC) is a methodology implemented to increase the dwell-times between events while still preserving a prescribed performance of the system under event-triggered control (ETC). This is achieved by considering the performance residual of the system, which is a measure of the system performance with respect to the prescribed performance. This allows the Lyapunov function candidate to deviate from decreasing monotonically. In order to determine the performance residual, it is required to know the full-state information, leading to all work related to P-ETC to be under full-state feedback. In this article, we propose a novel dynamic performance-barrier under output feedback with an exponentially convergent observer. We consider event-triggered boundary control of a class of $2\times2$ linear hyperbolic PDEs with anti-collocated measurements with the control input. Under the proposed P-ETC mechanism, we prove the existence of a minimum dwell-time, and show the global exponential stability of the spatial $L^2$ norm of the solution of the system. Simulation results are presented to validate the theoretical claims.
