A dynamic event‐triggered resilient control design for linear multi‐agent systems under DoS attacks

Abstract This article investigates the consensus problem for multi‐agent systems subject to DoS attacks under a directed communication topology. First, a dynamic event‐triggered mechanism is designed to reduce the frequency of control updates. Then, an event‐based resilient controller is provided, which ensures exponential convergence of all agents, even in the face of DoS attacks. The asymptotic stability conditions of the error system are derived through the analysis of the Lyapunov function, and Zeno behavior is strictly excluded. Additionally, the proposed event‐triggered mechanism can reduce the frequency of triggers effectively. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
