This article studies the observer-based event-triggered containment control problem for linear multiagent systems (MASs) under denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. In order to deal with situations where MASs states are unmeasurable, an improved separation method-based observer design method with less conservativeness is proposed to estimate MASs states. To save communication resources and achieve the containment control objective, a novel observer-based event-triggered containment controller design method based on observer states is proposed for MASs under the influence of DoS attacks, which can make the MASs resilient to DoS attacks. In addition, the Zeno behavior can be eliminated effectively by introducing a positive constant into the designed event-triggered mechanism. Finally, a practical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the designed observer and the event-triggered containment controller.
