This technical note investigates the problem of extended dissipative finite-time control for Markov jump systems (MJSs) with cyber-attacks and actuator failures. A probabilistic event-triggered mechanism (PETM) is proposed to relieve the communication burden by exploiting both the pattern variation of triggering thresholds and the time-varying characteristic of transmission delays. To characterize the actual control inputs, a stochastic actuator failure model (SAFM) is established using a random variable of any discrete-time distribution over [0,1]. Firstly, based on the PETM and SAFM, static output feedback controllers are devised which may not switch with the system synchronously. Then, novel sufficient conditions with less conservatism are obtained to achieve the extended dissipative finite-time control performance of the closed-loop system under admissible cyber-attacks and actuator failures. Furthermore, controller gains with non-convex constraints are calculated with the aid of a newly proposed lemma. Finally, an application oriented example is provided to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed results.

This article investigates the finite-time secure filter design of fuzzy switched cyber-physical systems equipped with a resource-constraint network that may undergo false data injection attacks (FDIAs). To strike a higher level balance between the resource consumption and filtering performance, a multidomain probabilistic event-triggered mechanism (MDPETM) is initially developed. And the mode mismatched phenomenon between the filter and the system is characterized through a delayed switching signal. Based on the MDPETM and a virtual delay partitioning approach, fuzzy mismatched secure filters are first devised whose modes could differ from the system. Then, filter-mode-dependent Lyapunov functionals are created to obtain new sufficient criteria such that the filtering error achieves finite-time boundedness with extended dissipativity subject to admissible FDIAs. The filter gains are obtained by solving a set of convex optimization problems. Finally, an application-oriented example is employed to test the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed results.

This paper investigates the attack-compensated output control problem for a class of Markov jump cyber-physical systems (MJCPSs) subject to mismatched modes. A sub-domain-awareness adaptive probabilistic event-triggered mechanism (APETM) is innovatively developed to fully enhance the control performance of the networked control system. Here, sub-domain-awareness means the network’s communication ability, which may be affected by time delay and network resource. To defend against the cyber-attacks imposed on the communication channel, a predictor-based compensator is constructed to mitigate the impact of attacks on the control performance. Different from the existing works, the mismatch degree between the controller and the system, governed by a random variable obeying any discrete-time distribution over $[0, 1]$ , is changing dynamically. A mismatched output feedback controller is designed based on the APETM and attack-compensator, and an augmented closed-loop system is obtained. Both time delay-and triggering threshold-dependent Lyapunov functionals are introduced to perform the asymptotical stability analysis. With a separation technique, a solving algorithm is provided which converts the non-convex analysis conditions into traceable ones. Finally, simulations are conducted to validate the proposed results through a mass-spring-damping system model. Note to Practitioners —Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) have found many applications in the fields such as smart grid, gas distribution systems, and automated manufacturing systems. The open communication network deployed in CPSs face two main challenges including the security of data transmission and the efficiency of resource utilization. Owing to the practical environment and other factors, system parameters may change abruptly, which can be well defined by a Markov model. In the resultant Markov jump system, it is typically assumed that the mode mismatch degree between the controller and the system remains the same, which is unrealistic in a time-varying network environment. Motivated by these observations, this paper investigates the secure output control of Markov jump CPSs (MJCPSs) subject to mismatched modes and unknown cyber-attacks. An adaptive probabilistic event-triggered mechanism is innovatively proposed, which compared with the existing mechanisms strikes a higher level balance between the communication burden and the control performance. And attack-compensated mismatched output controllers are developed to stabilize MJCPSs and meanwhile preserve the security level. Finally, a mass-spring-damping system is adopted to verify the application effectiveness of the proposed results. Note that communication traffic control and secure control are finely involved based on CPSs, making our proposed results more applicable to practical systems.

This paper is concerned with the problem of global fixed-time stabilization for a class of switched nonlinear systems in strict-feedback form. A novel time-varying scaling transformation is introduced to convert the original fixed-time stabilization problem into the asymptotic stabilization problem of transformed systems. Based on this, a new framework to address fixed-time state feedback for switched nonlinear systems is developed by employing the common Lyapunov function method and the adding a power integrator technique. It is proved that the proposed controller renders the states of the closed-loop system to zero in any prescribed finite time under arbitrary switchings. Finally, simulation results of a practical example are provided to confirm the efficacy of the proposed method.
