This paper studies the problem of stabilization of a nonlinear system with time-varying delays in both sensing and actuation using event-triggered control. Our proposed strategy seeks to opportunistically minimize the number of control…
A distributed algorithm is self-stabilizing if after faults and attacks hit the system and place it in some arbitrary global state, the systems recovers from this catastrophic situation without external intervention in finite time.…
