Finite-Time Synchronization of Reaction-Diffusion Inertial Memristive Neural Networks via Gain-Scheduled Pinning Control

Adaptive Intermittent Pinning Control for Synchronization of Delayed Nonlinear Memristive Neural Networks With Reaction-Diffusion Items

In this article, the global exponential synchronization problem is investigated for a class of delayed nonlinear memristive neural networks (MNNs) with reaction-diffusion items. First, using the Green formula, Lyapunov theory, and proposing a new fuzzy adaptive pinning control scheme, some novel algebraic criteria are obtained to ensure the exponential synchronization of the concerned networks. Furthermore, the corresponding control gains can be promptly adjusted based on the current states of partial nodes of the networks. Besides, a fuzzy adaptive aperiodically intermittent pinning control law is also designed to synchronize the fuzzy MNNs (FMNNs). The controller with intermittent mechanism can obtain appropriate rest time and save energy consumption. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to confirm the effectiveness of the results in this article.

Adaptive Drive-Response Synchronization of Timescale-Type Neural Networks With Unbounded Time-Varying Delays

In recent years, adaptive drive-response synchronization (DRS) of two continuous-time delayed neural networks (NNs) has been investigated extensively. For two timescale-type NNs (TNNs), how to develop adaptive synchronization control schemes and demonstrate rigorously is still an open problem. This article concentrates on adaptive control design for synchronization of TNNs with unbounded time-varying delays. First, timescale-type Barbalat lemma and novel timescale-type inequality techniques are first proposed, which provides us practical methods to investigate timescale-type nonlinear systems. Second, using timescale-type calculus, novel timescale-type inequality, and timescale-type Barbalat lemma, we demonstrate that global asymptotic synchronization can be achieved via adaptive control under algebraic and matrix inequality criteria even if the time-varying delays are unbounded and nondifferentiable. Adaptive DRS is discussed for TNNs, which implies our control schemes are suitable for continuous-time NNs, their discrete-time counterparts, and any combination of them. Finally, numerical examples on TNNs and timescale-type chaotic Ikeda-like oscillator with unbounded time-varying delays are carried out to verify the adaptive control schemes.

Global practical finite-time synchronization of disturbed inertial neural networks by delayed impulsive control

This paper delves into the practical finite-time synchronization (FTS) problem for inertial neural networks (INNs) with external disturbances. Firstly, based on Lyapunov theory, the local practical FTS of INNs with bounded external disturbances can be realized by effective finite time control. Then, building upon the local results, we extend the synchronization to a global practical level under delayed impulsive control. By designing appropriate hybrid controllers, the global practical FTS criteria of disturbed INNs are obtained and the corresponding settling time is estimated. In addition, for impulsive control, the maximum impulsive interval is used to describe the frequency at which the impulses occur. We optimize the maximum impulsive interval, aiming to minimize impulses occurrence, which directly translates to reduced control costs. Moreover, by comparing the global FTS results for INNs without external disturbances, it can be found that the existence of perturbations necessitates either higher impulsive intensity or denser impulses to maintain networks synchronization. Two examples are shown to demonstrate the reasonableness of designed hybrid controllers.

Dynamic Event-Triggered Control for GSES of Memristive Neural Networks Under Multiple Cyber-Attacks

In this article, the dynamic event-triggered control problem of memristive neural networks (MNNs) under multiple cyber-attacks is considered. A novel dynamic event-triggering scheme (DETS) and the corresponding event-triggered controller are proposed by taking into consideration both denial-of-service and deception attacks (DoS-DAs). Then, a key lemma is established to show that the dynamic event-triggered controller can be used to solve the globally stochastically exponential stability (GSES) issue of concerned MNN under multiple cyber-attacks. Meanwhile, a novel Lyapunov functional is proposed based on the actual sampling pattern. It is shown that under our proposed dynamic event-triggered controller and Lyapunov functional, the concerned MNN can achieve GSES in the presence of DoS-DAs. In addition, our results include relevant results on event-triggered control of MNN with static event-triggering scheme (SETS) or without cyber-attacks as special cases. The effectiveness of the proposed event-triggered controller under multiple cyber-attacks is illustrated by a simulation example.

Observer-Based Boundary Stabilization of Coupled Semilinear Reaction-Diffusion Neural Networks With Spatially Varying Coefficients via Event-Triggered Controller

The aim of this article is to propose an observer-based event-triggered Robin boundary control strategy for the exponential stabilization of the coupled semilinear reaction-diffusion neural networks with spatially varying coefficients. Toward this aim, we design an observer to estimate the value of system states by using some of these system values as the available measurement. An observer-based event-triggered boundary stabilizer is then presented to exponentially stabilize the considered systems with the Zeno behavior being excluded. Throughout this article, the main used method is backstepping, which yields an explicit expression of the control formulae. Moreover, we see that the proposed event-triggered boundary control scheme can ensure the desired level of control performance with fewer control law updates. A numerical example is finally given to illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

Sampled-Data Control for Exponential Synchronization of Delayed Inertial Neural Networks With Aperiodic Sampling and State Quantization

This article is devoted to dealing with exponential synchronization for inertial neural networks (INNs) with heterogeneous time-varying delays (HTVDs) under the framework of aperiodic sampling and state quantization. First, by taking the effect of aperiodic sampling and state quantization into consideration, a novel quantized sampled-data (QSD) controller with time-varying control gain is designed to tackle the exponential synchronization of INNs. Second, considering the available information of the lower and upper bounds of each HTVD, a refined Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is proposed. Meanwhile, an improved looped-functional method is utilized to fully capture the characteristic of practical sampling patterns and further relax the positive definiteness requirement for LKF. Consequently, less conservative exponential synchronization conditions with extra flexibility are derived. Finally, a numerical example is employed to demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed synchronization method.

Fixed-Time Stability of Nonlinear Impulsive Systems and its Application to Inertial Neural Networks

This article is concerned with the fixed-time stability (FTS) problem of nonlinear impulsive systems (NISs). By means of the impulsive control mechanism and Lyapunov functions theory, several sufficient conditions are established to ensure the FTS of general NISs. Meanwhile, some novel impulse-dependent settling-time estimation schemes are developed, which fully considers the influence of stabilizing impulses and destabilizing impulses on the convergence rate of the system states. The proposed schemes establish a quantitative relationship between the upper bound of the settling time and impulse effects. It shows that stabilizing impulses can accelerate the convergence rate of the system states and leads to the upper bound of the settling time being smaller. Conversely, destabilizing impulses can reduce it and make the upper bound of the settling time larger. Then, the theoretical results are applied to delayed inertial neural networks (DINNs), where two kinds of controllers are designed to realize fixed-time synchronization of the considered systems in the impulse sense. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed theoretical results.

Exponential Stabilization of Semi-Markov Reaction-Diffusion Memristive NNs via Event-Based Spatially Pointwise-Piecewise Switching Control

This article considers both the semi-Markov jumping phenomenon and spatial distribution characteristics when investigating the exponential stabilization of memristive neural networks (MNNs). The introduction of the semi-Markov jumping parameters relaxes the restriction on the sojourn time of Markovian MNNs. To increase the operability while ensuring control effect, a novel event-based spatially pointwise-piecewise switching control scheme is presented under a unified spatial division criterion, in which the pointwise and piecewise control can switch according to the preset event condition for the applicability to different control requirements. Moreover, by constructing a semi-Markov Lyapunov functional and utilizing the properties of the considered cumulative distribution function, the final exponential stabilization criterion and two related corollaries are obtained. Finally, simulation results illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control strategy.

Fixed-time periodic stabilization of discontinuous reaction-diffusion Cohen-Grossberg neural networks

This paper aims to study the fixed-time stabilization of a class of delayed discontinuous reaction-diffusion Cohen-Grossberg neural networks. Firstly, by providing some relaxed conditions containing indefinite functions and based on inequality techniques, a new fixed-time stability lemma is given, which can improve the traditional ones. Secondly, based on state-dependent switching laws, the periodic wave solution of the formulated networks is transformed into the periodic solution of ordinary differential system. By utilizing differential inclusions theory and coincidence theorem, the existence of periodic solutions is obtained. Thirdly, based on the new fixed-time stability lemma, the periodic solutions are stabilized at zero in a fixed-time, which is a new topic on reaction-diffusion networks. Moreover, the established criteria are all delay-dependent, which are less conservative than the previous delay-independent ones for ensuring the stabilization of delayed reaction-diffusion networks. Finally, two examples give numerical explanations of the proposed results and highlight the influence of delays.
