Resilient output containment control of heterogeneous linear parameter-varying multi-agent systems under external disturbances and composite attacks.

This paper investigates the resilient output containment control problem of heterogeneous linear parameter-varying (LPV) multi-agent systems facing external disturbances and composite attacks, such as denial-of-service (DoS) and false-data injection (FDI) attacks. DoS attacks target communication channels, preventing followers from directly accessing the information of the exosystem and leader. To address this issue, resilient distributed observers and estimators are constructed to asymptotically estimate the matrix and state of the exosystem and leader, respectively. Based on the reconstructed leader dynamics, a decentralized solver is designed to solve an LPV output regulation equation. To reduce the effects of FDI attacks on follower information, a local adaptive compensator is constructed. Considering the two situations where the follower's states are either unavailable or available, two corresponding control protocols are proposed to ensure that the output of each follower converges to the convex hull spanned by the outputs of the leaders. Finally, three simulation examples are introduced to demonstrate the effectiveness of obtained results.
