Abstract

This paper studies the controller design of sampled data robust adaptive control (RAC) with control update strategy for a class of networked uncertain nonlinear systems under random denial-of-service (DoS) attacks with frequency and duration constraints. Two switching-type robust adaptive controllers with corresponding update strategies based on certain triggering conditions are proposed to stabilize the uncertain nonlinear system with known and unknown control coefficient, respectively. The uniform ultimate boundedness (UUB) of the solutions of the closed-loop systems under DoS attacks is guaranteed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control law is verified by an example with numerical simulation.
