Local Distributed Control of Linear Systems Despite Byzantine Faults

Abstract

Sensor-actuator network components tend to be unreliable, especially when they are low cost or deployed in unpredictable environments. These components may even exhibit byzantine behavior in which case their effect on the underlying systems can be severe. In this paper, we focus our attention on applications of sensor networks in control of linear systems and show how to deal with byzantine faults of components. Based on the well known Lyapunov formulation of stability, we identify two types of fault-tolerant control schemes for linear systems: masking and self-stabilizing.
