Distributed Event-Triggered Bipartite Consensus for Multiagent Systems Against Injection Attacks

This article studies fully distributed data-driven problems for nonlinear discrete-time multiagent systems (MASs) with fixed and switching topologies preventing injection attacks. We first develop an enhanced compact form dynamic linearization model by applying the designed distributed bipartite combined measurement error function of the MASs. Then, a fully distributed event-triggered bipartite consensus (DETBC) framework is designed, where the dynamics information of MASs is no longer needed. Meanwhile, the restriction of the topology of the proposed DETBC method is further relieved. To prevent the MASs from injection attacks, neural network based detection and compensation schemes are developed. Rigorous convergence proof that the bipartite consensus error is ultimately bounded is presented. Finally, the effectiveness of the designed method is verified through simulations and experiments.
