Containment Control Problem of Linear Multiagent Systems with External Disturbance and DoS Attacks

Abstract

This work investigates the containment control for linear multiagent systems. We assume that the systems are subject to periodic energy-limited denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, which prevent agent-to-agent data transmission. It is assumed that the DoS attacks occur periodically based on the time sequence method. It is also assumed that some devices can be used to predict the duration of DoS attacks and uniform lower bound of communication areas. To achieve containment control, state and disturbance estimators are proposed for each following agent to estimate the relative state information. Under suitable conditions, the containment control problem can be solved with the designed controllers and observers. Finally, we provide a simulation result to confirm the theoretical analysis.
