On the validity of memristor modeling in the neural network literature

An analysis of the literature shows that there are two types of non-memristive models that have been widely used in the modeling of so-called "memristive" neural networks. Here, we demonstrate that such models have nothing in common with the concept of memristive elements: they describe either non-linear resistors or certain bi-state systems, which all are devices without memory. Therefore, the results presented in a significant number of publications are at least questionable, if not completely irrelevant to the actual field of memristive neural networks

Exponential synchronization for reaction-diffusion neural networks with mixed time-varying delays via periodically intermittent control

This paper deals with the exponential synchronization problem for reaction-diffusion neural networks with mixed time-varying delays and stochastic disturbance. By using stochastic analysis approaches and constructing a novel Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, a periodically intermittent controller is first proposed to guarantee the exponential synchronization of reaction-diffusion neural networks with mixed time-varying delays and stochastic disturbance in terms of p-norm. The obtained synchronization results are easy to check and improve upon the existing ones. Particularly, the traditional assumptions on control width and time-varying delays are removed in this paper. This paper also presents two illustrative examples and uses simulated results of these examples to show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme

pth moment exponential stability of stochastic fuzzy Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discrete and distributed delays

In this paper, stochastic fuzzy Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discrete and distributed delays are investigated. By using Lyapunov function and the Ito differential formula, some sufficient conditions for the pth moment exponential stability of such stochastic fuzzy Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discrete and distributed delays are established. An example is given to illustrate the feasibility of our main theoretical findings. Finally, the paper ends with a brief conclusion. Methodology and achieved results is to be presented

Synchronization of reaction–diffusion Hopfield neural networks with s-delays through sliding mode control

Synchronization of reaction–diffusion Hopfield neural networks with s-delays via sliding mode control (SMC) is investigated in this paper. To begin with, the system is studied in an abstract Hilbert space C([–r; 0];U) rather than usual Euclid space Rn. Then we prove that the state vector of the drive system synchronizes to that of the response system on the switching surface, which relies on equivalent control. Furthermore, we prove that switching surface is the sliding mode area under SMC. Moreover, SMC controller can also force with any initial state to reach the switching surface within finite time, and the approximating time estimate is given explicitly. These criteria are easy to check and have less restrictions, so they can provide solid theoretical guidance for practical design in the future. Three different novel Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals are used in corresponding proofs. Meanwhile, some inequalities such as Young inequality, Cauchy inequality, Poincaré inequality, Hanalay inequality are applied in these proofs. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the availability of our theoretical result, and the simulation is also carried out based on Runge–Kutta–Chebyshev method through Matlab

Finite-Time Boundedness of Impulsive Delayed Reaction–Diffusion Stochastic Neural Networks

Considering the impulsive delayed reaction&amp;#x2013;diffusion stochastic neural networks (IDRDSNNs) with hybrid impulses, the finite-time boundedness (FTB) and finite-time contractive boundedness (FTCB) are investigated in this article. First, a novel delay integral inequality is presented. By integrating this inequality with the comparison principle, some sufficient conditions that ensure the FTB and FTCB of IDRDSNNs are obtained. This study demonstrates that the FTB of neural networks with hybrid impulses can be maintained, even in the presence of impulsive perturbations. And for a system that is not FTB due to impulsive perturbations, achieving FTB is possible through the implementation of appropriate impulsive control and optimization of the average impulsive intervals. In addition, to validate the practicality of our results, three illustrative examples are provided. In the end, these theoretical findings are successfully applied to image encryption.</p

General decay lag anti-synchronization of multi-weighted delayed coupled neural networks with reaction–diffusion terms

We propose a new anti-synchronization concept, called general decay lag anti-synchronization, by combining the definitions of decay synchronization and lag synchronization. Novel criteria for the decay lag anti-synchronization of multi-weighted delayed coupled reaction–diffusion neural networks (MWDCRDNNs) with and without bounded distributed delays are derived by constructing an appropriate nonlinear controller and using the Lyapunov functional method. Moreover, the robust decay lag anti-synchronization of MWDCRDNNs with and without bounded distributed delays is considered. Finally, two numerical simulations are performed to validate the obtained results
