Observer-Based Feedback Stabilization of Linear Systems with   Event-triggered Sampling and Dynamic Quantization
  We consider the problem of output feedback stabilization in linear systems when the measured outputs and control inputs are subject to event-triggered sampling and dynamic quantization. A new sampling algorithm is proposed for outputs which does not lead to accumulation of sampling times and results in asymptotic stabilization of the system. The approach for output sampling is based on defining an event function that compares the difference between the current output and the most recently transmitted output sample not only with the current value of the output, but also takes into account a certain number of previously transmitted output samples. This allows us to reconstruct the state using an observer with sample-and-hold measurements. The estimated states are used to generate a control input, which is subjected to a different event-triggered sampling routine; hence the sampling times of inputs and outputs are asynchronous. Using Lyapunov-based approach, we prove the asymptotic stabilization of the closed-loop system and show that there exists a minimum inter-sampling time for control inputs and for outputs. To show that these sampling routines are robust with respect to transmission errors, only the quantized (in space) values of outputs and inputs are transmitted to the controller and the plant, respectively. A dynamic quantizer is adopted for this purpose, and an algorithm is proposed to update the range and the centre of the quantizer that results in an asymptotically stable closed-loop system.
