Robust dissipativity analysis for delayed memristor-based inertial neural network

Synchronization of a novel model for memristive neural networks via sliding mode control

In this paper, a novel memristive neural networks model is developed. In the new model, the states of memristors are related to the initial resistance of the memristors and the amount of charge flowing through them in a specific direction, which embodies the memory characteristic of memristors. As a consequence, parameters in the model vary continuously and cannot be determined by the states of neurons. Existing results on synchronization of memristive neural networks are useless to this model. To investigate the synchronization of the new model, the main difficulty is how to deal with the time-varying parameter mismatches between the drive and response networks. Since the error is unbounded and only utilizing output feedback control is not enough, a sliding mode controller is designed. An integral sliding surface is designed for the desired sliding motion, and a feasible control law is proposed. Moreover, an example is given to demonstrate the novelty of our model and to illustrate the effectiveness of the sliding mode controller.
