Global exponential stabilization and lag synchronization control of inertial neural networks with time delays

Synchronization of Generally Uncertain Markovian Inertial Neural Networks With Random Connection Weight Strengths and Image Encryption Application

This article focuses on the synchronization problem of delayed inertial neural networks (INNs) with generally uncertain Markovian jumping and their applications in image encryption. The random connection weight strengths and generally uncertain Markovian are discussed in the INNs model. Compared with most existing INNs models that have constant connection weight strengths, our model is more practical because connection weight strengths of INNs may randomly vary due to the external and internal environment and human factor. The delay-range-dependent synchronization conditions (DRDSCs) could be obtained by adopting the delay-product-term Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (DPTLKF) and higher order polynomial-based relaxed inequality (HOPRII). In addition, the desired controllers are obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, two examples are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Dynamic Self-Triggered Impulsive Synchronization of Complex Networks With Mismatched Parameters and Distributed Delay

Synchronization of complex networks with nonlinear couplings and distributed time-varying delays is investigated in this article. Since the mismatched parameters of individual systems, a kind of leader-following quasisynchronization issues is analyzed via impulsive control. To acquire appropriate impulsive intervals, the dynamic self-triggered impulsive controller is devoted to predicting the available instants of impulsive inputs. The proposed controller ensures the control effects while reducing the control costs. In addition, the updating laws of the dynamic parameter is settled in consideration of error bounds to adapt to the quasisynchronization. With the utilization of the Lyapunov stability theorem, comparison method, and the definition of average impulsive interval, sufficient conditions for realizing the synchronization within a specific bound are derived. Moreover, with the definition of average impulsive gain, the parameter variation scheme is extended from the fixed impulsive effects case to the time-varying impulsive effects case. Finally, three numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness and the superiority of proposed mathematical deduction.

Feedback Pinning Control of Successive Lag Synchronization on a Dynamical Network

In nature and human society, successive lag synchronization (SLS) is an important synchronization phenomenon. Compared with other synchronization patterns, the control theory of SLS is very lacking. To this end, we first introduce a complex dynamical network model with distributed delayed couplings, and design both the linear feedback pinning control and adaptive feedback pinning control to push SLS to the desired trajectories. Second, we obtain a series of sufficient conditions to achieve SLS to a desired trajectory with global stability. What is more, the control flow of SLS is given to show how to pick the pinned nodes accurately and set the feedback gains as well. Finally, since time-varying delay is common, we extend the constant time delay in SLS to be time varying. We find that the proposed pinning control schemes are still feasible if the coupling terms are appropriately adjusted. The theoretical results are verified on a neural network and the coupled Chua's circuits.

State Estimation for Complex-Valued Inertial Neural Networks with Multiple Time Delays

In this paper, the problem of state estimation for complex-valued inertial neural networks with leakage, additive and distributed delays is considered. By means of the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional method, the Jensen inequality, and the reciprocally convex approach, a delay-dependent criterion based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is derived. At the same time, the network state is estimated by observing the output measurements to ensure the global asymptotic stability of the error system. Finally, two examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Periodicity on Neutral-Type Inertial Neural Networks Incorporating Multiple Delays

The classical Hopefield neural networks have obvious symmetry, thus the study related to its dynamic behaviors has been widely concerned. This research article is involved with the neutral-type inertial neural networks incorporating multiple delays. By making an appropriate Lyapunov functional, one novel sufficient stability criterion for the existence and global exponential stability of T-periodic solutions on the proposed system is obtained. In addition, an instructive numerical example is arranged to support the present approach. The obtained results broaden the application range of neutral-types inertial neural networks.

Synchronization for stochastic coupled networks with Lévy noise via event-triggered control

This paper addresses the realization of almost sure synchronization problem for a new array of stochastic networks associated with delay and Lévy noise via event-triggered control. The coupling structure of the network is governed by a continuous-time homogeneous Markov chain. The nodes in the networks communicate with each other and update their information only at discrete-time instants so that the network workload can be minimized. Under the framework of stochastic process including Markov chain and Lévy process, and the convergence theorem of non-negative semi-martingales, we show that the Markovian coupled networks can achieve the almost sure synchronization by event-triggered control methodology. The results are further extended to the directed topology, where the coupling structure can be asymmetric. Furthermore, we also proved that the Zeno behavior can be excluded under our proposed approach, indicating that our framework is practically feasible. Numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.

Synchronization criteria of delayed inertial neural networks with generally Markovian jumping

In this paper, the synchronization problem of inertial neural networks with time-varying delays and generally Markovian jumping is investigated. The second order differential equations are transformed into the first-order differential equations by utilizing the variable transformation method. The Markovian process in the systems is uncertain or partially known due to the delay of data transmission channel or the loss of data information, which is more general and practicable to consider generally Markovian jumping inertial neural networks. The synchronization criteria can be obtained by using the delay-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and higher order polynomial based relaxed inequality (HOPRII). In addition, the desired controllers are obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Time-Delay Characteristics of Complex Lü System and Its Application in Speech Communication

Although complex Lü systems have been considered in many studies, application of the self-time-delay synchronization (STDS) of complex Lü systems in secure speech communications does not appear to have been covered in much of the literature. Therefore, it is meaningful to study the STDS of complex Lü systems and its application in secure speech communication. First, a complex Lü system with double time-delay is introduced and its chaotic characteristics are analyzed. Second, a synchronization controller is designed to achieve STDS. Third, the improved STDS controller is used to design a speech communication scheme based on a complex Lü system. Finally, the effectiveness of the controller and communication scheme are verified by simulation.
