Secure Consensus for Nonlinear Multi-agent Systems Against Switching DoS Attacks

In this paper, the secure consensus for nonlinear multi-agent systems against Denial-of-Service attacks is investigated from the perspective of switching topologies. Considering the connectivity of network topology, two kinds of DoS attacks are considered in communication channels: one is connectivity-maintained attack and the other is connectivity-broken attack. Moreover, a secure consensus condition is established by utilizing suitable state feedback control and Lyapunov approach. Finally, a numerical example is proposed to illustrate the validity of the derived results.
