Resilient control of constrained nonlinear uncertain systems with impulsive FDI attacks

Abstract This article investigates the resilient control problem for a class of constrained uncertain nonlinear systems subject to impulsive false data injection (FDI) attacks. Different from those in the literature, impulsive FDI attacks are launched at discrete‐time instants and cause transient jumps in the system state, thus rendering a nonlinear impulsive system. To overcome the difficulty of performance analysis caused by state jumps, we construct an impulsive constraint function and convert the system with full‐state constraints into an unconstrained system. Then, a resilient controller based on the impulsive constraint function is proposed, and by further combining the average impulsive interval method, we provide a set of conditions to ensure the satisfaction of the state constraints and the stability of the closed‐loop system.
