The privacy encryption constraint addresses the potential risk of external eavesdroppers gaining access to communication links, which could compromise the entire network, leading to significant information leakage and threatening the security of networked control. To mitigate these risks, a secure distributed control scheme is proposed, utilizing time-varying noise to ensure bipartite flocking behavior while safeguarding the positions and velocities of agents. Based on positional information augmented with noise, a weight function is introduced to dynamically adjust communication edge weights, reflecting variations in interaction strengths with fewer constraints. Furthermore, the algebraic relationship between the probability of random link failures and system stability is established, and the necessary topological conditions for achieving bipartite flocking control are obtained using the convergence method based on infinite products of sub-stochastic matrices.

Addressing the challenges associated with slow convergence, insufficient precision, and noise sensitivity in fractional-order system parameter estimation, this paper introduces a generalized response sensitivity approach based on fractional-order gradients. The proposed method uniquely utilizes fractional-order operators as adaptive step-size regulators, which enhance the algorithm’s convergence performance. Through rigorous theoretical analysis, the global convergence of the method is established. Numerical experiments demonstrate that, in comparison with conventional parameter estimation approaches, the proposed algorithm improves convergence speed by a factor of 1.5 to 5, while increasing parameter estimation accuracy by 2 to 5 orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the method exhibits robust performance, maintaining stable estimation accuracy under 10% noise conditions. Particularly, in fractional-order time-delay chaotic systems, a class of highly nonlinear systems, it outperforms traditional algorithms, yielding accurate results and strong noise resistance. Specifically, the approach is successfully applied to the estimation of constitutive parameters for polymer-based viscoelastic materials. By analyzing creep experiment data, the method accurately estimates the fractional-order material parameters, offering an efficient and reliable framework for characterizing the mechanical properties of complex materials.
