Event-triggered prescribed performance adaptive secure control for nonlinear cyber physical systems under denial-of-service attacks.

For a class of nonlinear cyber physical systems (CPSs) under intermittent denial-of-service attacks (DoS), this paper investigates a novel adaptive security control scheme. A switched fuzzy observer is designed to estimate unmeasurable states. In addition, the relative threshold-based event-triggered approach is introduced to reduce the released data, and the dynamic surface control technique is used to remove the 'explosion of terms' problem. Meanwhile, an observer-based adaptive event-triggered prescribed performance controller is constructed, which ensures that all closed-loop signals remain bounded and system output approaches a designed performance bound within a predefined finite time. Simultaneously, the Zeno behavior can be thoroughly eliminated. Finally, a numerical simulation is used to demonstrate the validity of the results. • This paper proposes a novel security control scheme for nonlinear CPSs. • A new performance function is introduced to ensure system performances. • The adopted event-triggered method effectively reduces the communication burden.
