Stability of multi-agents systems under DoS attacks

We investigate multi-agent systems under Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. In the presence of DoS attacks, information can neither be received nor sent between the attacked nodes, and adversaries can attack partial or all channels at any time. Therefore, in multi-agent systems, these attacks may lead to a loss of stability. Our goal is to provide sufficient conditions for the stability of multi-agent systems under DoS attacks.  Two types of systems are considered: (i) systems with memory, and (ii) systems defined on hybrid time domains.
