Robust secure consensus of multiagent systems with DoS attacks

Abstract

The secure consensus problem of multiagent systems with fixed topology and external disturbances is investigated in this paper. Along with external disturbances, the studied multiagent system is also subjected to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. First, some graph-based Lyapunov functions are presented for the robust consensus analysis. Second, the duration and attack frequency are introduced to quantitatively analyze the DoS attacks’ effects on the consensus. Third, the gain of the controller is acquired by solving an algebraic Riccati equation (ARE), which can always be guaranteed compared with solving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a numerical simulation of a microgrid test system is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
