To accurately depict complex attack behaviors, a piecewise homogeneous semi-Markov chain (SMC) model modulated by a superstratum Markov chain is introduced, which can simultaneously describe the randomness of attack mode transitions and the time-varying nature of transition probabilities. Considering that the actual attack modes are inaccessible, an observer-based mode switching delay technique is designed to solve this challenge. Under the framework of a piecewise homogeneous SMC, a sufficient criterion is established to ensure the ς-error mean-square stability under random multichannel DoS attacks by means of a Lyapunov function depending on observed attack modes, piecewise homogeneous variables, and ET. Moreover, matrix decoupling and convexification techniques are employed to reduce the computational complexity. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through two practical simulation cases.","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145246640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using chain-patterned polynomial encodings, this approach confines all effects of scale variation, thereby accommodating increasing scales without requiring prior knowledge of every interaction at all open moments, like the existing studies. Moreover, TBBG are embedded in this approach to guarantee the novel LFC with prescribed time and bound, while avoiding the infinity-approaching time-varying parameters. Furthermore, the important property order is further enforced and obtained under the proposed approach, conforming to the unidirectional information flow characteristic of chains.

The opposite end of the beam is fixed to the center of a rotational rigid disk. We assume that the dynamic process of the RBBS is affected by unknown disturbances and parameters. The external control actions, constituted by a control force exerted on the tip payload and a control torque acting on the disk, occur in dead zone nonlinearity and actuator failure. First, the mathematical expression of dead zone nonlinearity and actuator failure is combined and then divided into a desired control signal and a nonlinear input error. Second, by summing the input errors and external disturbances, adaptive boundary control and parameter compensation laws are designed for the RBBS to ensure vibration attenuation and regulate the rotating speed of the disk to a desired value. Third, the constructed control schemes ensure uniformity ultimately and boundedness regulation of the state variables, which is proved through the Lyapunov direct method. Finally, the effectiveness and robustness of the designed controllers are tested using numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145240908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose resilient finite-time and fixed-time control protocols against DoS attacks and establish conditions under which the Cucker-Smale (C-S) system can achieve flocking within a bounded time. The attack patterns are modeled stochastically and are constrained by the effective duration of the attack. Explicit upper bounds for both time and ECs are derived, demonstrating their dependence not only on the group size and control parameters, but also on the duration of DoS attacks. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations consistently demonstrate that shorter attack durations facilitate faster convergence and lower energy consumption. Additionally, our analysis uncovers a tradeoff between TC and EC under DoS attacks, suggesting that optimal communication intensity should be carefully adjusted to meet specific performance requirements of practical applications.","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145240905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike conventional approaches requiring complete follower information, we consider leaders who manipulate physical plant states while observing the follower's strategy through private tracking responders. To address distributional uncertainty in the follower's best response, we reformulate the game as a distributionally robust equilibrium-seeking problem and develop a fully distributed FL algorithm. The proposed data-driven approach operates without prior knowledge of system models or disturbance distributions, enabling leaders to estimate states through neighbor communication and local gradient updates. We characterize equilibrium existence in nonconvex settings. The relationship between communication and gradient errors and the energy function of the dynamic system is established. The upper bound of the regret based on the proposed algorithm is rigorously analyzed. A case study demonstrates the framework's effectiveness in achieving distributionally robust solutions against uncertain stochastic perturbations.","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145240906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MDT is supposed to improve patient prognosis, making the treatment generation process a multiattribute multiexpert decision-making (MAMEDM) problem. Traditional MAMEDM models often necessitate experts with differing opinions to conform to group consensus, neglecting experts' willingness to adjust opinions. To address this issue, this study proposes an MAMEDM framework which can maximize experts' willingness for opinion transformation. Initially, a linguistic scale function is used to preprocess linguistic evaluations. A fuzzy clustering algorithm is introduced to cluster experts. The weights of subgroups are determined based on the network centrality and the professional titles of experts. Expert opinions within subgroups are aggregated based on the principle of maximizing the willingness of experts for opinion transformation, and then the ORESTE method is implemented to rank treatment options. A case study on lung cancer treatment option generation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed framework. Results show that considering experts' willingness to revise evaluations significantly enhances decision acceptance and reduces the impact of noncooperative behaviors.","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145240907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
