Local Stability of Bilinear Systems with Asynchronous Sampling*, **

This note considers the problem of local stability of aperiodic sampled-data bilinear systems, controlled via linear state-feedback. The sampling intervals are time-varying and upper bounded. It is shown that by solving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) the local asymptotic stability of the sampled system is guaranteed in an ellipsoidal region containing the origin of the state space. The method is based on the analysis of contractive invariant sets, and it is inspired by the dissipativity theory. The results are illustrated by means of a numerical example.
