Nonfragile security control for time‐varying cyber‐physical systems operating over multipath networks

Abstract

The main focus of this article is to explore the finite‐time stabilization of time‐varying cyber‐physical systems (CPS) that are operating over multipath networks and under random denial‐of‐service (DoS) attacks. In contrast to prior studies, we present a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for achieving finite‐time stability in the closed‐loop model of CPS operating over single‐path network. Notably, this equivalent conditions are established based on the analysis of the state transition matrix (STM). Additionally, we utilized auxiliary systems to study more general CPS operating over multipath networks and obtained a sufficient condition based on STM. Finally, we address a sufficient condition based on the Lyapunov function and introduce a linear matrix inequality (LMI)‐based approach that facilitates the computation of nonfragile controllers. The effectiveness of the developed theoretical results is verified through a stock investment model.
