Exponential synchronization for delayed chaotic neural networks with nonlinear hybrid coupling

Exponential synchronization of memristive neural networks with time-varying delays via quantized sliding-mode control

In the paper, exponential synchronization issue is considered for memristive neural networks (MNNs) with time-varying delays via quantized sliding-mode algorithm. Quantized Sliding-mode controller is introduced to ensure the slave system can be exponentially synchronized with the host system via the super-twisting algorithm, which has been proved in the main results. Quantization function consists of uniform quantizer and logarithmic quantizer. Simulation results are given with comparisons between two quantizers in the end.

Stochastic sampled-data control for synchronization of complex dynamical networks with control packet loss and additive time-varying delays

This study examines the exponential synchronization of complex dynamical networks with control packet loss and additive time-varying delays. Additionally, sampled-data controller with time-varying sampling period is considered and is assumed to switch between m different values in a random way with given probability. Then, a novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) with triple integral terms is constructed and by using Jensen's inequality and reciprocally convex approach, sufficient conditions under which the dynamical network is exponentially mean-square stable are derived. When applying Jensen's inequality to partition double integral terms in the derivation of linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions, a new kind of linear combination of positive functions weighted by the inverses of squared convex parameters appears. In order to handle such a combination, an effective method is introduced by extending the lower bound lemma. To design the sampled-data controller, the synchronization error system is represented as a switched system. Based on the derived LMI conditions and average dwell-time method, sufficient conditions for the synchronization of switched error system are derived in terms of LMIs. Finally, numerical example is employed to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
