This article studies an event-triggered asynchronous output regulation problem (EAORP) for networked switched systems (NSSs) with unstable switching dynamics (USDs) including all modes unstable and partial switching instants destabilization, which means that the Lyapunov function increases both on the activation intervals of all subsystems and at some switching instants. First, a memory-based mode-compared event-triggered mechanism for switched systems is proposed to effectively shorten asynchronous intervals, which employs historical sampled outputs and compares the mode of the current sampled instant and the adjacent sampled instant. Then, the maximum average dwell time for a novel switching signal is derived with a constraint on the ratio of total destabilizing switchings to total stabilizing switchings, which relaxes the requirement of the regular arrangement of destabilizing and stabilizing switchings. Moreover, with the help of different coordinate transformations in the EAORP, the discretized Lyapunov functions are no longer needed when synthesizing the NSSs with USDs, and the asynchronous switching situation is also discussed. Afterward, by designing a dynamic output feedback controller, sufficient conditions are given to solve the EAORP for NSSs with USDs subject to network-induced delays, packet disorders, and packet losses. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methods is verified via a switched RLC circuit.
