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

摘要

Summary 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.
