Fuzzy Adaptive Event-Triggered Consensus Control for Nonlinear Multiagent Systems With Output Constraints and DoS Attacks

In this article, the fuzzy adaptive event-triggered consensus control issue is addressed for nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) under output constraints and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. First of all, fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. Then, a novel switching observer is constructed to observe the leader’s state and handle DoS attacks. With the help of the exponent–dependent barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs), the system output can be constrained within a preset region. Based on dynamic surface control (DSC) technique, the issue of computational complexity can be effectively avoided. Combining the designed switching observer and relative thresholds, a robust fuzzy adaptive event-triggered controller is developed, which ensures that the consensus output tracking errors converge to a small neighborhood of zero, and all signals in the closed-loop system keep bounded. Moreover, Zeno behavior can be avoided. Ultimately, simulation results are given to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy and theory.
