Event-triggering mechanism to damp the linear wave equation

Abstract

This paper aims at proposing a sufficient matrix inequality condition to carry out the global exponential stability of the wave equation under an event-triggering mechanism that updates a damping source term. The damping is distributed in the whole space but sampled in time. The wellposedness of the closed-loop event-triggered control system is shown. Furthermore, the avoidance of Zeno behavior is ensured provided that the initial data are more regular. The interest of the results is drawn through some numerical simulations.
