Aiming at the security consensus control problem of leader‐following multi‐agent systems (MASs) under hybrid random cyber attack, this article proposes a novel sampled information related adaptive event‐triggered control mechanism (SIRAETCM). While ensuring the safety performance of the MASs, the mechanism adaptively and dynamically adjusts the trigger threshold of every agent to achieve discontinuous communication by using only the current and latest sampled signals. According to the MASs communication mode and Bernoulli attack model, a security consensus control protocol is constructed, and a bilateral sampled‐interval Lyapunov functional (BSILF) method is introduced to obtain more sampling interval information and establish sufficient conditions for the leader‐following state error system to stabilize asymptotically under hybrid random cyber attacks. Meanwhile, under a large sampling interval, the controller gain and adaptive event‐triggered parameters are designed and obtained. The simulation of the tunnel diode circuit system shows that the SIRAETCM can reduce the number of communications between agents to improve bandwidth utilization, and the adopted safety cooperative control protocol can improve the safety and effectiveness of the MASs.

This paper explores the synchronization control issue for a class of fractional-order Complex-valued Neural Networks (FOCVNNs) with additive time-varying delays (TVDs) utilizing a sampled-data-based event-triggered mechanism (SDBETM). First, an innovative free-matrix-based fractional-order integral inequality (FMBFOII) and an improved fractional-order complex-valued integral inequality (FOCVII) are proposed, which are less conservative than the existing classical fractional-order integral inequality (FOII). Secondly, an SDBETM is inducted to conserve network resources. In addition, a novel Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) enriched with additional information regarding the fractional-order derivative, additive TVDs, and triggering instants is constructed. Then, through the integration of the innovative FOCVII, LKF, SDBETM, and other analytical methodologies, we deduce two criteria in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to ensure the synchronization of the master–slave FOCVNNs. Finally, numerical simulations are illustrated to confirm the validity of the proposed results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Overf the last few years, by utilizing Mawhin’s continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory and Lyapunov functional, many scholars have been concerned with the global asymptotical stability of positive periodic solutions for the non-linear ecosystems. In the real world, almost periodicity is usually more realistic and more general than periodicity, but there are scarcely any papers concerning the issue of the global asymptotical stability of positive almost periodic solutions of non-linear ecosystems. In this paper we consider a kind of delayed two-species competitive model with stage structure. By means of Mawhin’s continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, some sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of at least one positive almost periodic solutions for the above model with nonnegative coefficients. Furthermore, the global asymptotical stability of positive almost periodic solution of the model is also studied. The work of this paper extends and improves some results in recent years. An example and simulations are employed to illustrate the main results of this paper.

Summary: Under the aperiodic Denial‐of‐service (DoS) attacks, this paper studies the resilient adaptive event‐triggered synchronization control problem for a class of Piecewise‐Homogeneous Uncertain Markov Jump Neural Networks (PHUMJNNs) with time‐varying delays. First of all, a new way of carving DoS attacks is given from the defenders' perspective, that is, aperiodic DoS attacks based on fixed detection periods. Then, under such attacks, a new Resilient Adaptive Event‐triggered Communication (RAETC) is designed between sensor and controller, which has a threshold function based on the net change rate and is real‐time updated depending on the present sampling state. Next, a single functional is used in the construction of the Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional, while a new looped functional is introduced that makes full use of the state information of the current instant t$$ t $$, the trigger instant tkh$$ {t}_kh $$ and the next trigger instant tk+1h$$ {t}_{k+1}h $$. Based on the constructed single functional, under the framework of the input delay method and the linear matrix inequality technique, the exponential mean square stabilization criterion of the error system is obtained, which makes the master system and the slave system synchronized. In the end, three simulation examples are used to illustrate the validity of the obtained results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
