Abstract

Stability and performance of networked control systems has been a recent area of interest in the control literature. The inclusion of a shared communication network between plant and controller inevitably leads to occasional random data loss. We provide novel results relating to the probability of such a system being globally asymptotically stable or input to state stable.
