Secure Consensus for Switched Multiagent Systems Under DoS Attacks: Hybrid Event-Triggered and Impulsive Control Approach
针对遭受非周期性拒绝服务攻击和外部瞬时扰动的非线性多智能体系统，提出一种混合事件触发与脉冲控制协议，在节省控制资源的同时实现安全一致性。
This article aims at the leader-following secure consensus problem of nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with switching topologies, where the agents are not only suffered from the aperiodic malicious denial-of-service (DoS) attacks but also affected by instantaneous disturbance from the external environment. Due to the existing challenge of instantaneous disturbance about occurrence time being unknown, the impulsive-based switching network structure is put forward to tackle the impact of external instantaneous disturbance on MASs. Then, a novel hybrid event-triggered and impulsive control protocol is developed to guarantee that nonlinear MASs can resist DoS attacks and achieve the consensus control objective. Contrasted with the methods of continuous control, the developed hybrid event-triggered and impulsive control protocol using the discontinuous sampled state has certain merits saving control resources. Based on the Lyapunov theory, the stability of the closed-loop system is proven, and the Zeno behavior can be excluded successfully. An example is supplied to elicit the availability of the presented methodology.
