Group Consensus Using Event-Triggered Control for Second-Order Multi-Agent Systems under Asynchronous DoS Attack
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This paper explores the group consensus problem of second-order multi-agent systems (MAS) under asynchronous denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Asynchronous DoS attacks involve the interruption of certain communication links, allowing the MAS to be reimagined as a switching system with a persistent dwell time (PDT). The agents in each group can be divided into three types, which are inter-act agents, intra-act agents with zero in-degree, and other agents. Then, according to the properties of the different agents, suitable agents are pinned. By leveraging the concepts of switching topology and the PDT, a suitable event-triggered control protocol is designed, along with the establishment of conditions to ensure the group consensus of the MAS. Moreover, through the construction of topology-dependent Lyapunov functions, the achievement of group consensus within the MAS under asynchronous DoS attacks is demonstrated. Subsequently, a numerical example is presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
