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

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 synchronization criteria for an array of neural networks with hybrid coupling and time-varying delays

This paper is concerned with the global exponential synchronization for an array of hybrid coupled neural networks with time-varying leakage delay, discrete and distributed delays. Applying a novel Lyapunov functional and the property of outer coupling matrices of the neural networks, sufficient conditions are obtained for the global exponential synchronization of the system. The derived synchronization criteria are closely related with the time-varying delays and the coupling structure of the networks. The maximal allowable upper bounds of the time-varying delays can be obtained guaranteeing the global synchronization for the neural networks. The method we adopt in this paper is different from the commonly used linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, and our synchronization conditions are new, which are easy to check in comparison with the previously reported LMI-based ones. Some examples are given to show the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results

Robust passivity of coupled Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with reaction-diffusion terms

In this paper, we deal with the robust passivity problem for coupled reaction-diffusion Cohen-Grossberg neural networks (CRDCGNNs) with spatial diffusion coupling and state coupling. First, we present the network model for CRDCGNNs with state coupling and establish some robust passivity conditions for this kind of CRDCGNNs. Then, the investigation on robust passivity for CRDCGNNs with spatial diffusion coupling is carried out similarly. At last, the feasibility of the obtained theoretical results is demonstrated by one example with simulation results

Dynamical Behavior of Nonautonomous Stochastic Reaction-Diffusion Neural Network Models

This brief investigates nonautonomous stochastic reaction-diffusion neural-network models with S-type distributed delays. First, the existence and uniqueness of mild solution are studied under the Lipschitz condition without the linear growth condition. Due to the existence of a nonautonomous reaction-diffusion term and the infinite dimensional Wiener process, the criteria for the well-posedness of the models are established based on the evolution system theory. Then, the S-type distributed delay, which is an infinite delay, is handled by the truncation method, and sufficient conditions for the global exponential stability are obtained by constructing a simple Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional candidate. Finally, neural-network examples and an illustrative example are given to show the applications of the obtained results.</p

ψ-type stability of reaction–diffusion neural networks with time-varying discrete delays and bounded distributed delays

In this paper, the ψ-type stability and robust ψ-type stability for reaction–diffusion neural networks (RDNNs) with Dirichlet boundary conditions, time-varying discrete delays and bounded distributed delays are investigated, respectively. Firstly, we analyze the ψ-type stability and robust ψ-type stability of RDNNs with time-varying discrete delays by means of ψ-type functions combined with some inequality techniques, and put forward several ψ-type stability criteria for the considered networks. Additionally, the models of RDNNs with bounded distributed delays are established and some sufficient conditions to guarantee the ψ-type stability and robust ψ-type stability are given. Lastly, two examples are provided to confirm the effectiveness of the derived results

Finite-time anti-synchronization of multi-weighted coupled neural networks with and without coupling delays

The multi-weighted coupled neural networks (MWCNNs) models with and without coupling delays are investigated in this paper. Firstly, the finite-time anti-synchronization of MWCNNs with fixed topology and switching topology is analyzed respectively by utilizing Lyapunov functional approach as well as some inequality techniques, and several anti-synchronization criteria are put forward for the considered networks. Furthermore, when the parameter uncertainties appear in MWCNNs, some conditions for ensuring robust finite-time anti-synchronization are obtained. Similarly, we also consider the finite-time anti-synchronization and robust finite-time anti-synchronization for MWCNNs with coupling delays under fixed and switched topologies respectively. Lastly, two numerical examples with simulations are provided to confirm the effectiveness of these derived results

Two types of coupled different dimensional delayed reaction-diffusion neural network (CDDDRDNN) models without and with parametric uncertainties are analyzed in this paper. On the one hand, passivity and synchronization of the raised network model with certain parameters are studied through exploiting some inequality techniques and Lyapunov stability theory, and some adequate conditions are established. On the other hand, the problems of robust passivity and robust synchronization of CDDDRDNNs with parameter uncertainties are solved. Finally, two numerical examples are given to testify the effectiveness of the derived passivity and synchronization conditions
