The asymptotic properties of the impulsive Beverton-Holt difference equation where p is a fixed positive integer, are considered. The results are applied to an impulsive logistic equation with non-constant coefficients In particular, sufficient extinction and non-extinction conditions are obtained for both equations.

This article studies impulsive stabilization of nonlinear systems. We propose two types of event-triggering algorithms to update the impulsive control signals with actuation delays. The first algorithm is based on continuous event detection, while the second type makes decision about updating the impulsive control inputs according to periodic event detection. Sufficient conditions are derived to ensure asymptotic stability of the impulsive control systems with the designed event-triggering algorithms. Lower bounds of the time period between two consecutive events are also obtained, so that the closed-loop impulsive systems are free of Zeno behavior. That is to say that the pulse phenomena are excluded from the event-triggered impulsive control systems, in the community of impulsive differential equations. An illustrative example demonstrates effectiveness of the proposed algorithms and our theoretical results.

This article studies the event-triggered control problem of general nonlinear systems with time delay. A novel event-triggering scheme is presented with two tunable design parameters, based on a Lyapunov functional result for the input-to-state stability of time-delay systems. The proposed event-triggered control algorithm guarantees the resulting closed-loop systems to be globally asymptotically stable, uniformly bounded, and/or globally attractive for different choices of these parameters. Sufficient conditions on the parameters are derived to exclude Zeno behavior. Two illustrative examples are studied to demonstrate our theoretical results.
