Hybrid event-based asynchronous finite-time control for cyber-physical switched systems under denial-of-service attacks

This paper investigates the event-based asynchronous finite-time control for a class of cyber-physical switched systems under Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. Considering the attack’s characteristics, we put forward a novel attack-instant-constrained hybrid event-triggered scheme (HETS), which can not only contribute to reducing the network transmission overload, but also well descibe the network denial service behavior under attack interference. An asynchronous and ZOH-based controller is delicately constructed to mitigate the influence of DoS attacks and network-induced delay. A double-mode dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) is developed to set up some sufficient finite-time stability criteria for the concerned systems in view of the asynchronous switching effect. Finally, an application example of the urban railway system is offered to verify the proposed control algorithm.
