Decentralized observer-based event-triggered control for an interconnected fractional-order system with stochastic Cyber-attacks

Abstract

<abstract> <p>The problem of decentralized observer-based event-triggered stabilization for an interconnected fractional-order system subject to stochastic cyber-attacks is studied. To address this issue, the decentralized event-triggered mechanism is proposed for the interconnected fractional-order system, where the event-triggered schemes are designed based on the states of fractional-order observers, and the stochastic attacks are considered both on control inputs and observer outputs. By combining decentralized observers and decentralized event-triggered controllers, we aim to achieve decentralized control with reduced amplifying error and use local signals to improve overall system performance. By utilizing the diffusive representation of the fractional-order system, the interconnected fractional-order system is transformed into an equivalent integer-order one to simplify the analysis and control design. Employing the Lyapunov indirect approach, a sufficient condition is obtained to guarantee the stochastic asymptotically stability of the augmented system. Additionally, by the singular value decomposition technique, the approach of simultaneously computing the decentralized observer gains and controller gains is presented. Finally, a simulation example is provided to validate the theoretical findings.</p> </abstract>
