Self-triggered Impulsive Synchronization of Multi-agent Systems with Encrypted Communication*

Abstract

This paper discusses the self-triggered impulsive synchronization of multi-agent systems (MASs) with encrypted communication. Using a chaotic encrypted scheme, the sampling data will be encrypted before communicating, and the encrypted data will be decrypted when an agent received these encrypted data from its neighbors and utilized into the event-based impulsive controller to realize the state synchronization of MASs. This scheme has a distinct superiority to solve the privacy protection of agents, and a simulation is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
