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
Finite-time Stability, Dissipativity and Passivity Analysis of Discrete-time Neural Networks Time-varying Delays
The neural network time-varying delay was described as the dynamic properties of a neural cell, including neural functional and neural delay differential equations. The differential expression explains the derivative term of current and past state. The objective of this paper obtained the neural network time-varying delay. A delay-dependent condition is provided to ensure the considered discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays to be finite-time stability, dissipativity, and passivity. This paper using a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional as well as the free-weighting matrix approach and a linear matrix inequality analysis (LMI) technique constructing to a novel sufficient criterion on finite-time stability, dissipativity, and passivity of the discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays for improving. We propose sufficient conditions for discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays. An effective LMI approach derives by base the appropriate type of Lyapunov functional. Finally, we present the effectiveness of novel criteria of finite-time stability, dissipativity, and passivity condition of discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays in the form of linear matrix inequality (LMI)
State estimation for discrete-time Markovian jumping neural networks with mixed mode-dependent delays
This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obtained from the link - Copyright 2008 Elsevier LtdIn this Letter, we investigate the state estimation problem for a new class of discrete-time neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters as well as mode-dependent mixed time-delays. The parameters of the discrete-time neural networks are subject to the switching from one mode to another at different times according to a Markov chain, and the mixed time-delays consist of both discrete and distributed delays that are dependent on the Markovian jumping mode. New techniques are developed to deal with the mixed time-delays in the discrete-time setting, and a novel Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is put forward to reflect the mode-dependent time-delays. Sufficient conditions are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) that guarantee the existence of the state estimators. We show that both the existence conditions and the explicit expression of the desired estimator can be characterized in terms of the solution to an LMI. A numerical example is exploited to show the usefulness of the derived LMI-based conditions.This work was supported in part by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) of the UK under Grants BB/C506264/1 and 100/EGM17735, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK under Grants GR/S27658/01 and EP/C524586/1, an International Joint Project sponsored by the Royal Society of the UK, the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province of China under Grant BK2007075, the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 60774073, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany

Observer-based H∞ control for systems with repeated scalar nonlinearities and multiple packet losses
This paper is concerned with the H∞ control problem for a class of systems with repeated scalar nonlinearities and multiple missing measurements. The nonlinear system is described by a discrete-time state equation involving a repeated scalar nonlinearity, which typically appears in recurrent neural networks. The measurement missing phenomenon is assumed to occur, simultaneously, in the communication channels from the sensor to the controller and from the controller to the actuator, where the missing probability for each sensor/actuator is governed by an individual random variable satisfying a certain probabilistic distribution in the interval [0 1]. Attention is focused on the analysis and design of an observer-based feedback controller such that the closed-loop control system is stochastically stable and preserves a guaranteed H∞ performance. Sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of admissible controllers. It is shown that the controller design problem under consideration is solvable if certain linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are feasible. Three examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed theoretical result
Finite-time synchronization of Markovian neural networks with proportional delays and discontinuous activations
In this paper, finite-time synchronization of neural networks (NNs) with discontinuous activation functions (DAFs), Markovian switching, and proportional delays is studied in the framework of Filippov solution. Since proportional delay is unbounded and different from infinite-time distributed delay and classical finite-time analytical techniques are not applicable anymore, new 1-norm analytical techniques are developed. Controllers with and without the sign function are designed to overcome the effects of the uncertainties induced by Filippov solutions and further synchronize the considered NNs in a finite time. By designing new Lyapunov functionals and using M-matrix method, sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee that the considered NNs realize synchronization in a settling time without introducing any free parameters. It is shown that, though the proportional delay can be unbounded, complete synchronization can still be realized, and the settling time can be explicitly estimated. Moreover, it is discovered that controllers with sign function can reduce the control gains, while controllers without the sign function can overcome chattering phenomenon. Finally, numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness of theoretical results
