Data-driven cooperative output regulation of multi-agent systems under distributed denial of service attacks

Abstract

This paper addresses an optimal, cooperative output regulation problem for multi-agent systems with distributed denial of service attacks and unknown system dynamics. Unlike existing studies, the proposed solution is essentially a learning-based control strategy such that one can obtain a distributed control policy with internal models through online data and analyze the resilience of closed-loop systems, both without the precise knowledge of system dynamics in the state-space model. The efficiency of the proposed methodology is validated using computer simulations.
