Consensus and cluster forming of multiagent systems in the face of jamming attacks along with reactive recovery actions by a defender are discussed. The attacker is capable to disable some of the edges of the network with the objective to divide the agents into a smaller size of clusters while, in response, the defender recovers some of the edges by increasing the transmission power. We consider repeated games where the resulting optimal strategies for the two players are derived in a rolling horizon fashion. The attacker and the defender possess different computational abilities to calculate their strategies. This aspect is represented by the non-uniform values of the horizon lengths and the game periods. Theoretical and simulation based results demonstrate the effects of the horizon lengths and the game periods on the agents' states.

A two-player game-theoretic problem on resilient graphs in a multiagent consensus setting is formulated. An attacker is capable to disable some of the edges of the network with the objective to divide the agents into clusters by emitting jamming signals while, in response, the defender recovers some of the edges by increasing the transmission power for the communication signals. Specifically, we consider repeated games between the attacker and the defender where the optimal strategies for the two players are derived in a rolling horizon fashion based on utility functions that take both the agents' states and the sizes of clusters (known as network effect) into account. The players' actions at each discrete-time step are constrained by their energy for transmissions of the signals, with a less strict constraint for the attacker. Necessary conditions and sufficient conditions of agent consensus are derived, which are influenced by the energy constraints. The number of clusters of agents at infinite time in the face of attacks and recoveries are also characterized. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effects of players' actions on the cluster forming and to illustrate the players' performance for different horizon parameters.
