A Comprehensive Review of Continuous-/Discontinuous-Time Fractional-Order Multidimensional Neural Networks

The dynamical study of continuous-/discontinuous-time fractional-order neural networks (FONNs) has been thoroughly explored, and several publications have been made available. This study is designed to give an exhaustive review of the dynamical studies of multidimensional FONNs in continuous/discontinuous time, including Hopfield NNs (HNNs), Cohen-Grossberg NNs, and bidirectional associative memory NNs, and similar models are considered in real ( [Formula: see text]), complex ( [Formula: see text]), quaternion ( [Formula: see text]), and octonion ( [Formula: see text]) fields. Since, in practice, delays are unavoidable, theoretical findings from multidimensional FONNs with various types of delays are thoroughly evaluated. Some required and adequate stability and synchronization requirements are also mentioned for fractional-order NNs without delays.

Improved approach to the problem of the global Mittag-Leffler synchronization for fractional-order multidimension-valued BAM neural networks based on new inequalities

This paper studies the problem of the global Mittag-Leffler synchronization for fractional-order multidimension-valued BAM neural networks (FOMVBAMNNs) with general activation functions (AFs). First, the unified model is established for the researched systems of FOMVBAMNNs which can be turned into the corresponding multidimension-valued systems as long as the state variables, the connection weights and the AFs of the neural networks are valued to be real, complex, or quaternion. Then, without any decomposition, the criteria in unified form are derived by constructing the new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals (LKFs) in vector form, combining two new inequalities and considering the easy controllers. It is worth mentioning that the obtained criteria have many advantages in higher flexibility, more diversity, smaller computation, and lower conservatism. Finally, a simulation example is provided to illustrate the availability and improvements of the acquired results.

Discrete-Time Stochastic Quaternion-Valued Neural Networks with Time Delays: An Asymptotic Stability Analysis

Stochastic disturbances often cause undesirable characteristics in real-world system modeling. As a result, investigations on stochastic disturbances in neural network (NN) modeling are important. In this study, stochastic disturbances are considered for the formulation of a new class of NN models; i.e., the discrete-time stochastic quaternion-valued neural networks (DSQVNNs). In addition, the mean-square asymptotic stability issue in DSQVNNs is studied. Firstly, we decompose the original DSQVNN model into four real-valued models using the real-imaginary separation method, in order to avoid difficulties caused by non-commutative quaternion multiplication. Secondly, some new sufficient conditions for the mean-square asymptotic stability criterion with respect to the considered DSQVNN model are obtained via the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, based on the Lyapunov functional and stochastic analysis. Finally, examples are presented to ascertain the usefulness of the obtained theoretical results.

Passivity Analysis for Quaternion-Valued Memristor-Based Neural Networks With Time-Varying Delay

This paper is concerned with the problem of global exponential passivity for quaternion-valued memristor-based neural networks (QVMNNs) with time-varying delay. The QVMNNs can be seen as a switched system due to the memristor parameters are switching according to the states of the network. This is the first time that the global exponential passivity of QVMNNs with time-varying delay is investigated. By means of a nondecomposition method and structuring novel Lyapunov functional in form of quaternion self-conjugate matrices, the delay-dependent passivity criteria are derived in the forms of quaternion-valued linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) as well as complex-valued LMIs. Furthermore, the asymptotical stability criteria can be obtained from the proposed passivity criteria. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

A New Nine-Dimensional Chaotic Lorenz System with Quaternion Variables: Complicated Dynamics, Electronic Circuit Design, Anti-Anticipating Synchronization, and Chaotic Masking Communication Application

In this paper, a chaotic quaternion autonomous nonlinear structure is introduced and intends to be a contribution. It is the first nonlinear dynamical system with quaternion variables to be studied in the literature. With nine dimensions, the new system is a high-dimensional one. Several vital characteristics and features of this model are investigated, such as its Hamiltonian, symmetry, signal flow graph, dissipation, equilibriums and their stability, Lyapunov exponents, Lyapunov dimension, bifurcation diagrams, and chaotic behavior. A circuit implementation is designed to realize the new system, and a scheme is designed to achieve anti-anticipating synchronization (AAS) of two identical chaotic attractors with quaternion variables based on a Lyapunov function and active control. The concept of AAS is yet to be explored in the literature. A simulation experiment is designed and executed to illustrate the effectiveness of the acquired results. After synchronization, numerical outcomes are planned to explain the status variables and errors of these chaotic attractors to prove that AAS is achieved. The secure communication problem is studied based on the obtained events of the AAS of two identical nonlinear Lorenz systems with quaternion variables. AAS connecting the drive and response systems in chaotic systems with quaternion variables is the key to achieving communication. Signal encryption and restoration are simulated numerically.
