Abstract

The finite-horizon optimal secure tracking control (FHOSTC) problem for cyber–physical systems under actuator denial-of-service (DoS) attacks is addressed in this paper. A model-free method based on the Q-function is designed to achieve FHOSTC without the system model information. First, an augmented time-varying Riccati equation (TVRE) is derived by integrating the system with the reference system into a unified augmented system. Then, a lower bound on malicious DoS attacks probability that guarantees the solutions of the TVRE is provided. Third, a Q-function that changes over time (time-varying Q-function, TVQF) is devised. A TVQF-based method is then proposed to solve the TVRE without the need for the knowledge of the augmented system dynamics. The developed method works backward-in-time and uses the least-squares method. To validate the performance and features of the developed method, simulation studies are conducted in the end.
