This article focuses on the consensus problem of linear multi-agent systems under denial-of-service attacks and directed switching topologies. With only intermittent communication, the leader-following consensus can be preserved by fully distributed event-triggered strategies. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed event-triggered resilient controller guarantees the exponential convergence in the presence of denial-of-service attacks and the exclusion of Zeno behavior. Compared to the existing studies where continuous communication between neighboring agents is required, the event-triggered data reduction scheme is provided to tackle the effects of denial-of-service attacks on directed switching topology as well as to avoid continuous communication and reduce energy consumption. The obtained results can be extended to the scenario without a leader. Numerical simulations are finally given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
