An anti-collocated actuation and sensing configuration is considered, and an exponentially convergent observer for state estimation from boundary data is designed. Initially, a continuous-time dynamic event-triggering mechanism requiring constant monitoring of the triggering function is developed. This mechanism is subsequently adapted into a periodic event-triggering scheme, which necessitates only periodic monitoring to identify when the control input needs updating. The underlying control approach is the PDE backstepping boundary control, implemented in a zero-order hold manner between events. This result marks a substantial improvement over conventional observer-based continuous-time event-triggered control for linear coupled hyperbolic PDEs by removing the requirement for constant monitoring of the triggering function. With the triggering function evaluated periodically, the closed-loop system is inherently free from Zeno behavior. It is demonstrated that under the proposed PETC, the closed-loop system globally exponentially converges to zero in the spatial $L^2$ norm. A simulation study illustrating the theoretical results is presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-04-02T20:49:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "output feedback periodic event-triggered control", "linear hyperbolic pdes", "hyperbolic partial differential equations", "system globally exponentially converges", "event-triggering mechanism requiring constant" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
