Abstract
In this article, the stability problem for event-triggered nonlinear control systems is addressed in the presence of stochastic denial of service attacks on the communication network. Dynamic event-triggered control and periodic event-triggered control are considered under the stochastic attacks. The stochastic attacks are modeled by a stochastic hybrid timer and a logic variable which is used to identify whether the network is attacked or not. Then, the entire closed-loop system can be modeled into the framework of stochastic hybrid systems. Uniform global asymptotic stability in probability is concluded for the resulting stochastic system by proving that the equilibrium set is uniformly globally stable in probability and each neighborhood of the equilibrium set is uniformly globally recurrent. A nonlinear system example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
