This article investigates the distributed secure state estimation problem in distributed systems, proposes a DSGD algorithm, and illustrates its effectiveness through a numerical example.
This article investigates the distributed secure state estimation problem of distributed systems where a set of agents estimates the state cooperatively in the presence of malicious agents. First, a sufficient condition for the solvability of the distributed secure state estimation problem is proposed. Second, based on the obtained condition, a distributed switched gradient descent (DSGD) algorithm is designed to solve the considered problem which is transformed into a distributed optimization problem. With the help of a candidate-removal mechanism, the proposed DSGD algorithm successfully generates reliable state estimates despite malicious agents. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is illustrated by a numerical example.
