Robust pinning synchronization of complex cyberphysical networks under mixed attack strategies

Abstract

SummaryThis paper is concerned with the robust pinning synchronization control problem in complex cyberphysical networks under mixed attacks. The channels for transmitting control input signals and receiving information agent are assumed to be independent of each other and both can be destroyed by frequently occurred attacks. After the attacks, a repairing cell will be instantly activated until the communication topology is restored to the initial state. Assume that broken‐down nodes remain partial function. Moreover, feedback gain matrices and coupling strengths will be designed by some algorithms. By dint of geometrical method and inequality technique, sufficient conditions are established to guarantee robust synchronization for the complex cyberphysical networks. Finally, a simulation example is utilized to illustrate the obtained results.
