An observer-based controller via an event-triggered scheme is proposed, which can save the limited network communication bandwidth effectively, so that the resulting error system is stochastically finite-time bounded. Based on the positive definite diagonally dominant matrix and the Lyapunov function technique, a sufficient condition is presented for the solvability of the addressed problem, and the desired observer-based controller can be constructed via a convex optimization problem. In the end, a simulation example is employed to show the validity and practicability of the proposed design method %K Observer-based control %K finite-time control %K repeated scalar nonlinear systems %K event-triggered scheme %K Markov jump systems %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0142331217720975
