Asynchronous Event-Triggered Control for Networked Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Systems Against DoS Attacks

This article investigates the asynchronous adaptive event-triggered control problem for networked interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy systems subject to nonperiodic denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Unlike some existing results, two resilient adaptive event-triggered mechanisms (AETMs) are applied independently to both sensor and controller output while resisting nonperiodic DoS attacks. In particular, the asynchronous resilient AETM thresholds are adaptively varied based on error information between current sampling and latest available packets. Then, a new switched IT2 fuzzy dynamical output feedback system is modeled by discussing the influence of the AETM and nonperiodic DoS attacks simultaneously. Furthermore, mismatched membership functions are considered between dynamic output feedback controller and IT2 fuzzy model, and a slack matrix is introduced to relax stability conditions. Besides, by utilizing the piecewise Lyapunov-Krasovskii function method, sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee that the newly constructed switching system is globally exponentially stable with H
