Abstract
This paper focuses on the problem of distributed fault detection and leader-following output consensus for heterogeneous multiagent systems subject to deception attacks. During the information exchange and dissemination, a malicious attacker can make full use of specialized computer technology and launch stochastic deception attacks against some vulnerable agents over the network. The attack signals in actual operation tend to be energy-constrained, and Bernoulli distribution can be used to describe the random features. Taking the attack information into account, the distributed fault detection observer and the dynamic consensus compensator are designed in two separate steps. In order to reduce unnecessary information transmission, a dynamic event-triggered mechanism with output-dependent threshold is introduced to the adjustment of consensus protocol. According to Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques, sufficient conditions are derived for developing the model gains of the observer and the compensator. Finally, a simulation example of RLC circuit systems is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.
