Fuzzy Adaptive Approaches for Robust Containment Control in Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems under False Data Injection Attacks

Abstract

This study addresses the problem of fractional-order nonlinear containment control of heterogeneous multi-agent systems within a leader–follower framework, focusing on the impact of False Data Injection (FDI) attacks. By employing adaptive mechanisms and fuzzy logic, the suggested method enhances system resilience, ensuring reliable coordination and stability even in the presence of deceptive disturbances. To deal with these uncertainties, our controller makes use of interval type-II (IT2) fuzzy sets, and we create matrix equalities and inequalities to account for the asymmetry of Laplace matrices. Also, we use the Lyapunov functions for the stability analysis of our system. Lastly, we explain the numerical simulations for the effectiveness of our theoretical results, and these simulated examples are used to verify the effectiveness of our approach and designed model.
