Abstract

This paper concerns the bipartite consensus problem of multi-agent systems(MASs) with competitive- cooperative network topology under denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Firstly, this work extensively analyzes the competitive phenomena that may exist in the information interchange of agents in contrast to the single cooperative behavior between agents. Based on this, some necessary conditions are provided for the system to attain the bipartite consensus. In addition, the event-triggered mechanism (ETM) effectively lowers unnecessary information sharing between agents and eliminates Zeno behavior. Furthermore, the predictive method provides the system with exceptional resistance against common energy-limited DoS attacks and the ability to compensate for information loss caused by DoS attacks. Finally, a numerical simulation proves that the proposed approach is feasible.
