Abstract
In this article, an anti-attack event-triggered secure control scheme for a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems with input quantization is developed. With the help of neural networks approximating unknown nonlinear functions, unknown states are obtained by designing an adaptive neural state observer. Then, a relative threshold event-triggered control strategy is introduced to save communication resources including network bandwidth and computational capabilities. Furthermore, a quantizer is employed to provide sufficient accuracy under the requirement of a low transmission rate, which is represented by the so-called a hysteresis quantizer. Meanwhile, to resist attacks in the multi-agent network, a predictor is designed to record whether an edge is attacked or not. Through the Lyapunov analysis, the proposed secure control protocol can ensure that all the closed-loop signals remain bounded under attacks. Finally, the effectiveness of the designed scheme is verified by simulation results.
