Therefore, in this work, a sliding mode controller is designed for Markov jump systems subject to denial-of-service attacks, without considering quantization.

A barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) based adaptive fault-tolerant control protocol is proposed, which is fully distributed in that any global information for the Laplacian matrix is not in need. The key to achieving this is to introduce a novel information hierarchical mechanism, which eliminates the requirement for the global information of the Laplacian matrix. The control result is global in that it is uniform in the initial condition. This is achieved by introducing a piecewise and differentiable time-varying scaling function into the controller design, which also allows the settling time to be explicitly pre-specified. In addition, this work relaxes the communication condition to only contain a directed spanning tree, preventing the restrictive requirement that the signed graph must be structurally balanced as imposed in most existing bipartite consensus works.

Specifically, an event-triggered mechanism is introduced in the position loop to reduce the resource transmission consumption. To address the non-differentiable nature of the event-triggered signal, a fourth-order linear system model for the position loop is derived, ensuring the existence of a twice-differentiable acceleration reference which is essential for the attitude loop.
