On Consensus and Stability under Denial-of-Service Attacks

In the paper, discrete-time multi-agent systems under Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks are considered. Since in the presence of DoS attacks the stability of the whole system may be disturbed, sufficient stability conditions for the multi-agent system under DoS attacks are delivered. The consensus problem for the special case of the considered system under DoS attacks is also examined by delivering sufficient conditions. Theoretical considerations are illustrated by numerical examples.
