Event-triggered synchronization in fixed time for complex dynamical networks with discontinuous nodes and disturbances

Projective quasi-synchronization of coupled memristive neural networks with uncertainties and impulsive effect

The dynamic behavior of memristive neural networks (MNNs), including synchronization, effectively keeps the robotic stability against numerous uncertainties from the mimic of the human brain. However, it is challenging to perform projective quasi-synchronization of coupled MNNs with low-consumer control devices. This is partly because complete synchronization is difficult to realize under various projective factors and parameter mismatch. This article aims to investigate projective quasi-synchronization from the perspective of the controller. Here, two approaches are considered to find the event-triggered scheme for lag synchronization of coupled MNNs. In the first approach, the projective quasi-synchronization issue is formulated for coupled MNNs for the first time, where the networks are combined with time-varying delays and uncertainties under the constraints imposed by the frequency of controller updates within limited system communication resources. It is shown that our methods can avoid the Zeno-behavior under the newly determined triggered functions. In the second approach, following classical methods, a novel projective quasi-synchronization criterion that combines the nonlinear property of the memristor and the framework of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is proposed. Simulation results indicate that the proposed two approaches are useful for coupled MNNs, and they have less control cost for different types of quasi-synchronization.
