This paper addresses the consensus problem for nonlinear multi-agent systems suffering from attacks and communication delays. The network studied in this paper consists of two types of agents, namely, loyal agents and attack agents.The loyal agents update their states based on delayed state information exchanged with their neighbors. Meanwhile, the attack agents can strategically send messages with wrong values,or collude with other attack agents to disrupt the correct operation of the system. We design a novel delay robust secure consensus(DRSC) algorithm according to the neighboring nodes’ delayed information. Convergence analysis of the system under the protocol designed is provided by using Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory and Barbalat-like argument approach. Finally,an example and simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm.
