Event-triggered impulsive control for second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems under DoS attacks

Abstract

We investigated impulsive consensus in second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) under Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. We consided scenarios where the communication network is subjected to DoS attacks, disrupting communication links and causing changes in the communication topology. An event-triggered impulsive control(ETIC) approach is proposed to flexibly address these issues. Additionally, an upper bound on the DoS attack period is introduced. Finally, a numerical example is given to verify the validity of the major results.
