Fault-Tolerant secure consensus tracking of delayed nonlinear multi-agent systems with deception attacks and uncertain parameters via impulsive control

This paper investigates fault-tolerant secure consensus tracking(SCT) for delayed nonlinear multi-agent systems(MASs) with deception attacks, uncertain parameters and actuator failure via impulsive control. The deception attacks are considered in the information exchange channels among neighbour agents and it would be modeled as a Bernoulli distribution. A class of distributed impulsive control protocols is proposed. Some sufficient conditions for achieving mean-square bounded consensus(MSBC) are obtained. The mean-square error bounds are derived which are associated with the energy of deception attack and the expectation matrix involved with actuator failure. Simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
