Observer-Based PID Security Control for Discrete Time-Delay Systems Under Cyber-Attacks

This article deals with the observer-based proportional-integral-derivative (PID) security control problem for a kind of linear discrete time-delay systems subject to cyber-attacks. The cyber-attacks, which include both denial-of-service and deception attacks, are allowed to be randomly occurring as regulated by two sequences of Bernoulli distributed random variables with certain probabilities. A novel observer-based PID controller is proposed such that the closed-loop system achieves the desired security level and the quadratic cost criterion (QCC) has an upper bound. Sufficient conditions are derived under which the exponentially mean-square input-to-state stability is guaranteed and the desired security level is then achieved. Subsequently, an upper bound of the QCC is obtained and the explicit expression of the desired PID controller is also parameterized. Finally, the validity of the developed design approach is verified via an illustrative example.

This article addresses the observer-based proportional-integral-derivative (PID) security control problem for a type of linear discrete time-delay systems under cyber-attacks. A novel observer-based PID controller is proposed to achieve the desired security level and ensure the system stability, with sufficient conditions derived for exponentially mean-square input-to-state stability and upper bound of the quadratic cost criterion (QCC) obtained. The effectiveness of the design approach is demonstrated through an illustrative example.
