Scaled consensus design for multiagent systems under DoS attacks and communication-delays

摘要

This paper aims to solve scaled consensus problem for general linear multiagent systems under denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Firstly, we propose a new scaled disagreement vector and investigate its properties under switching and undirected graphs. Secondly, we establish sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities in order to guarantee that the multiagent system achieves scaled consensus under DoS attacks. Contrary to most existing studies where DoS attacks on all the channels are same, in this note, we formulate the problem such that the adversary compromises each agent independently. Moreover, the distributed consensus protocol is investigated for networks with timevarying delay. Finally, two simulation examples are given to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed design methodologies. (c)& nbsp;2021 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
