Different from the existing finite-time problems, not only the problem of finite-time boundedness but also the problem of input-output finite-time stability is considered in this article. Using an asynchronous switching scheme, sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the event-based closed-loop systems are both finite-time bounded and input-output finite-time stable. Then, a parameter-dependent asynchronous controller is designed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a numerical example is presented to show the effectiveness of the result %K Event-triggered communication scheme %K switched linear parameter-varying system %K finite-time boundedness %K input-output finite-time stability %K asynchronous controller %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0959651818773549
