Passivity and synchronization of coupled complex-valued memristive neural networks

The coupled complex-valued memristive neural networks (CCVMNNs) are investigated in this study. First, we analyze the passivity of the proposed network model by designing an appropriate controller and using certain inequalities as well as Lyapunov functional method, and provide a passivity condition for the considered CCVMNNs. In addition, a criterion for guaranteeing synchronization of this kind of network is established. Finally, the effectiveness and correctness of the acquired theoretical results are verified by a numerical example

Global exponential stability conditions for quaternion-valued neural networks with leakage, transmission and distribution delays

This paper studies the global exponential stability problem of quaternion-valued neural networks (QVNNs) with leakage, transmission, and distribution delays. To address this issue, a direct method based on system solutions is proposed to ensure the global exponential stability of the considered network models. In addition, this method does not need to construct any Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, which greatly reduces the amount of computation. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results

Mittag-Leffler state estimator design and synchronization analysis for fractional order BAM neural networks with time delays

This paper deals with the extended design of Mittag-Leffler state estimator and adaptive synchronization for fractional order BAM neural networks (FBNNs) with time delays. By the aid of Lyapunov direct approach and Razumikhin-type method a suitable fractional order Lyapunov functional is constructed and a new set of novel sufficient condition are derived to estimate the neuron states via available output measurements such that the ensuring estimator error system is globally Mittag-Leffler stable. Then, the adaptive feedback control rule is designed, under which the considered FBNNs can achieve Mittag-Leffler adaptive synchronization by means of some fractional order inequality techniques. Moreover, the adaptive feedback control may be utilized even when there is no ideal information from the system parameters. Finally, two numerical simulations are given to reveal the effectiveness of the theoretical consequences.N/

Multi-weighted complex structure on fractional order coupled neural networks with linear coupling delay: a robust synchronization problem

This sequel is concerned with the analysis of robust synchronization for a multi-weighted complex structure on fractional-order coupled neural networks (MWCFCNNs) with linear coupling delays via state feedback controller. Firstly, by means of fractional order comparison principle, suitable Lyapunov method, Kronecker product technique, some famous inequality techniques about fractional order calculus and the basis of interval parameter method, two improved robust asymptotical synchronization analysis, both algebraic method and LMI method, respectively are established via state feedback controller. Secondly, when the parameter uncertainties are ignored, several synchronization criterion are also given to ensure the global asymptotical synchronization of considered MWCFCNNs. Moreover, two type of special cases for global asymptotical synchronization MWCFCNNs with and without linear coupling delays, respectively are investigated. Ultimately, the accuracy and feasibility of obtained synchronization criteria are supported by the given two numerical computer simulations.This article has been written with the joint financial support of RUSA-Phase 2.0 grant sanctioned vide letter No.F 24-51/2014-U, Policy (TN Multi-Gen), Dept. of Edn.

Symmetry in Chaotic Systems and Circuits

Symmetry can play an important role in the field of nonlinear systems and especially in the design of nonlinear circuits that produce chaos. Therefore, this Special Issue, titled “Symmetry in Chaotic Systems and Circuits”, presents the latest scientific advances in nonlinear chaotic systems and circuits that introduce various kinds of symmetries. Applications of chaotic systems and circuits with symmetries, or with a deliberate lack of symmetry, are also presented in this Special Issue. The volume contains 14 published papers from authors around the world. This reflects the high impact of this Special Issue

Projective synchronization analysis for BAM neural networks with time-varying delay via novel control

In this paper, the projective synchronization of BAM neural networks with time-varying delays is studied. Firstly, a type of novel adaptive controller is introduced for the considered neural networks, which can achieve projective synchronization. Then, based on the adaptive controller, some novel and useful conditions are obtained to ensure the projective synchronization of considered neural networks. To our knowledge, different from other forms of synchronization, projective synchronization is more suitable to clearly represent the nonlinear systems’ fragile nature. Besides, we solve the projective synchronization problem between two different chaotic BAM neural networks, while most of the existing works only concerned with the projective synchronization chaotic systems with the same topologies. Compared with the controllers in previous papers, the designed controllers in this paper do not require any activation functions during the application process. Finally, an example is provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results

Passivity and synchronization of coupled reaction-diffusion complex-valued memristive neural networks

This paper considers two types of coupled reaction-diffusion complex-valued memristive neural networks (CRDCVMNNs). The nodes of the first type CRDCVMNN are coupled through their state and the second one is coupled by spatial diffusion coupling term. For the former, some novel criteria for the passivity and synchronization are derived by constructing an appropriate controller and utilizing some inequality techniques as well as Lyapunov functional method. For the latter, we establish some sufficient conditions which guarantee that this type of CRDCVMNNs can realize passivity and synchronization. Finally, the effectiveness and correctness of the acquired theoretical results are verified by two numerical examples

New criteria on global Mittag-Leffler synchronization for Caputo-type delayed Cohen-Grossberg Inertial Neural Networks

Our focus of this paper is on global Mittag-Leffler synchronization (GMLS) of the Caputo-type Inertial Cohen-Grossberg Neural Networks (ICGNNs) with discrete and distributed delays. This model takes into account the inertial term as well as the two types of delays, which greatly reduces the conservatism with respect to the model. A change of variables transforms the $2\beta$ order inertial frame into $\beta$ order ordinary frame in order to deal with the effect of the inertial term. In the following steps, two novel types of delay controllers are designed for the purpose of reaching the GMLS. In conjunction with the novel controllers, utilizing differential mean-value theorem and inequality techniques, several criteria are derived to determine the GMLS of ICGNNs within the framework of Caputo-type derivative and calculus properties. At length, the feasibility of the results is further demonstrated by two simulation examples
