Weighted Sum Synchronization of Memristive Coupled Neural Networks
Funding Information: This work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 61971185) and the Open Fund Project of Key Laboratory in Hunan Universities (No. 18K010). Publisher Copyright: © 2020 Elsevier B.V.It is well known that weighted sum of node states plays an essential role in function implementation of neural networks. Therefore, this paper proposes a new weighted sum synchronization model for memristive neural networks. Unlike the existing synchronization models of memristive neural networks which control each network node to reach synchronization, the proposed model treats the networks as dynamic entireties by weighted sum of node states and makes the entireties instead of each node reach expected synchronization. In this paper, weighted sum complete synchronization and quasi-synchronization are both investigated by designing feedback controller and aperiodically intermittent controller, respectively. Meanwhile, a flexible control scheme is designed for the proposed model by utilizing some switching parameters and can improve anti-interference ability of control system. By applying Lyapunov method and some differential inequalities, some effective criteria are derived to ensure the synchronizations of memristive neural networks. Moreover, the error level of the quasi-synchronization is given. Finally, numerical simulation examples are used to certify the effectiveness of the derived results.Peer reviewe
Minimal Diagnosis and Diagnosability of Discrete-Event Systems Modeled by Automata
In the last several decades, the model-based diagnosis of discrete-event systems (DESs) has increasingly become an active research topic in both control engineering and artificial intelligence. However, in contrast with the widely applied minimal diagnosis of static systems, in most approaches to the diagnosis of DESs, all possible candidate diagnoses are computed, including nonminimal candidates, which may cause intractable complexity when the number of nonminimal diagnoses is very large. According to the principle of parsimony and the principle of joint-probability distribution, generally, the minimal diagnosis of DESs is preferable to a nonminimal diagnosis. To generate more likely diagnoses, the notion of the minimal diagnosis of DESs is presented, which is supported by a minimal diagnoser for the generation of minimal diagnoses. Moreover, to either strongly or weakly decide whether a minimal set of faulty events has definitely occurred or not, two notions of minimal diagnosability are proposed. Necessary and sufficient conditions for determining the minimal diagnosability of DESs are proven. The relationships between the two types of minimal diagnosability and the classical diagnosability are analysed in depth

Parameterized algorithms of fundamental NP-hard problems: a survey
Parameterized computation theory has developed rapidly over the last two decades. In theoretical computer science, it has attracted considerable attention for its theoretical value and significant guidance in many practical applications. We give an overview on parameterized algorithms for some fundamental NP-hard problems, including MaxSAT, Maximum Internal Spanning Trees, Maximum Internal Out-Branching, Planar (Connected) Dominating Set, Feedback Vertex Set, Hyperplane Cover, Vertex Cover, Packing and Matching problems. All of these problems have been widely applied in various areas, such as Internet of Things, Wireless Sensor Networks, Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, Big Data, and so on. In this paper, we are focused on the algorithms’ main idea and algorithmic techniques, and omit the details of them
