Sampled‐data bipartite consensus control of nonlinear multi‐agent systems under denial‐of‐service attacks

Abstract

This article concentrates on the sampled-data secure bipartite consensus problem for a class of nonlinear multiagent systems under intermittent denial-of-service attacks. The network communication channels are destroyed when the attacks occur, which causes all the system states to be unavailable. A novel distributed sampled-data output feedback control protocol is developed by using the discontinuous sensor data. It is proved by the Lyapunov stability analysis that the considered nonlinear multiagent systems can achieve bipartite consensus exponentially in light of the designed control protocol. Then, the control algorithm is extended to systems with both state and input delay. Finally, a simulation example is presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control protocol.

Synchronization of Multiplex Networks With Stochastic Perturbations via Intermittent Control

“…Wang and Chen [1] introduced pinning control method to study synchronization of CNs firstly, since then, the pinning control method has been commonly used in synchronization problem. On the other hand, for reducing the requirements of system hardware and the consumption of communication resources, scholars have proposed some control methods on the discrete signals updated at instant times, such as intermittent control [2][3][4][5][6][7], event-triggered control [8][9][10][11], sampled-data control [12][13][14] and impulsive control [15][16][17].…”
