This article focuses on the consensus problem of linear multi-agent systems under denial-of-service attacks and directed switching topologies. With only intermittent communication, the leader-following consensus can be preserved by fully distributed event-triggered strategies. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed event-triggered resilient controller guarantees the exponential convergence in the presence of denial-of-service attacks and the exclusion of Zeno behavior. Compared to the existing studies where continuous communication between neighboring agents is required, the event-triggered data reduction scheme is provided to tackle the effects of denial-of-service attacks on directed switching topology as well as to avoid continuous communication and reduce energy consumption. The obtained results can be extended to the scenario without a leader. Numerical simulations are finally given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract This work focuses on the consensus problem of multi-agent systems (MASs) under event-triggered control (ETC) subject to denial-of-service (DoS) jamming attacks. To reduce the cost of communication networks, a novel event-triggering mechanism (ETM) is applied to the sleeping interval to determine whether the sampled signal should be transmitted or not. Unlike periodic DoS attacks model, the DoS attacks occurrence are irregular, where attack attributes such as attack frequency and attack duration are taken into account. Moreover, compared with the fixed topological graph, the communication topologies may change due to DoS jamming attacks in this work. In view of this, based on the piecewise Lyapunov functional, sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee that consensus problem of the MASs can be solved. Finally, the effectiveness and correctness of the theoretical results are verified by a numerical example.

This paper investigates the event-triggered consensus problem of second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems subject to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, which make the communication network unable to provide normal services. Considering a general class of DoS attack with limited duration, a novel distributed event-triggered consensus protocol accompanied with first-order hold is adopted to guarantee the globally bounded consensus convergence under directed network topology. Based on the linear matrix inequality approach and Lyapunov stability method, consensus converging properties are analysed and sufficient criteria are obtained. Furthermore, Zeno-free triggering of our proposed protocol is demonstrated. Finally, a numerical simulation is given to show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.
