Sampled-data-based event-triggered (SDET) communication techniques have found extensive applications in the research of synchronization and consensus in directed networks (DNs). However, as the quantity of nodes in a network expands, existing investigations encounter difficulties in obtaining solutions within finite computation times due to computational complexity. For coping with this scenario, a novel event-triggered pinning quasi-synchronization approach is explored in this research for a category of switched directed networks (SDNs) with sampling measurements. By developing a time-depende...
