Abstract This paper develops an asynchronous mode-dependent repetitive control strategy with periodic event-based dynamic output feedback for periodic trajectory tracking of continuous-time switched systems subject to time-varying switching delays between system modes and controllers and limited communication capacity in the feedback channel. By employing the input delay approach, the overall system is modelled as an augmented closed-loop switched system with both constant and time-varying state delays. A co-design framework is proposed for simultaneously designing the controller, event-triggering mechanism and mode switching signal. Under the co-design framework, using piecewise Lyapunov functional, free-weighting matrices and average dwell time technique, sufficient conditions are derived for ensuring the augmented closed-loop system to be exponentially stable with a prescribed $H_{\infty }$ attenuation level $\gamma $ for an exogenous disturbance input. The performance of the proposed controller design scheme is verified via numerical simulation results on a switched RLC series circuit system.

How can a supreme audit institution (SAI) use design thinking in auditing? SAIs audit the way taxpayers’ money is collected and spent. Adding design thinking to their activities is not to be taken lightly. SAIs independently check whether public organizations have done the right things in the right way, but the organizations might not be willing to act upon a SAI’s recommendations. Can you imagine the role of design in audits? In this paper we share our experiences of some design approaches in the work of one SAI: the Netherlands Court of Audit (NCA). Design thinking needs to be adapted (Dorst, 2015a) before it can be used by SAIs such as the NCA in order to reflect their independent, autonomous status. To dive deeper into design thinking, Buchanan’s design framework (2015) and different ways of reasoning (Dorst, 2015b) are used to explore how design thinking can be adapted for audits.
