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

Recent Advances and Applications of Fractional-Order Neural Networks

This paper focuses on the growth, development, and future of various forms of fractional-order neural networks. Multiple advances in structure, learning algorithms, and methods have been critically investigated and summarized. This also includes the recent trends in the dynamics of various fractional-order neural networks. The multiple forms of fractional-order neural networks considered in this study are Hopfield, cellular, memristive, complex, and quaternion-valued based networks. Further, the application of fractional-order neural networks in various computational fields such as system identification, control, optimization, and stability have been critically analyzed and discussed

Global exponential synchronization of quaternion-valued memristive neural networks with time delays

This paper extends the memristive neural networks (MNNs) to quaternion field, a new class of neural networks named quaternion-valued memristive neural networks (QVMNNs) is then established, and the problem of drive-response global synchronization of this type of networks is investigated in this paper. Two cases are taken into consideration: one is with the conventional differential inclusion assumption, the other without. Criteria for the global synchronization of these two cases are achieved respectively by appropriately choosing the Lyapunov functional and applying some inequality techniques. Finally, corresponding simulation examples are presented to demonstrate the correctness of the proposed results derived in this paper

Exponential synchronization for second-order switched quaternion-valued neural networks with neutral-type and mixed time-varying delays

This article focuses on the global exponential synchronization (GES) for second-order state-dependent switched quaternion-valued neural networks (SOSDSQVNNs) with neutral-type and mixed delays. By proposing some new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals (LKFs) and adopting some inequalities, several new criteria in the shape of algebraic inequalities are proposed to ensure the GES for the concerned system by using hybrid switched controllers (HSCs). Different from the common reducing order and separation ways, this article presents some new LKFs to straightway discuss the GES of the concerned system based on non-reduction order and nonseparation strategies. Ultimately, an example is provided to validate the effectiveness of the theoretical outcomes

Finite-time projective synchronization of fractional-order delayed quaternion-valued fuzzy memristive neural networks

In this paper, the finite-time projective synchronization (FTPS) problem of fractionalorder quaternion-valued fuzzy memristor neural networks (FOQVFMNNs) is studied. Through establishing a feedback controller with signed functions and an adaptive controller, sufficient conditions for FTPS for FOQVFMNNs are obtained. Furthermore, the synchronization establishment time is calculated. Finally, the practicability of the conclusions is verified by numerical simulations

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

Stochastic memristive quaternion-valued neural networks with time delays: An analysis on mean square exponential input-to-state stability

In this paper, we study the mean-square exponential input-to-state stability (exp-ISS) problem for a new class of neural network (NN) models, i.e., continuous-time stochastic memristive quaternion-valued neural networks (SMQVNNs) with time delays. Firstly, in order to overcome the difficulties posed by non-commutative quaternion multiplication, we decompose the original SMQVNNs into four real-valued models. Secondly, by constructing suitable Lyapunov functional and applying Itoˆ’s formula, Dynkin’s formula as well as inequity techniques, we prove that the considered system model is mean-square exp-ISS. In comparison with the conventional research on stability, we derive a new mean-square exp-ISS criterion for SMQVNNs. The results obtained in this paper are the general case of previously known results in complex and real fields. Finally, a numerical example has been provided to show the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results

Finite-time stabilization for fractional-order inertial neural networks with time varying delays

This paper deals with the finite-time stabilization of fractional-order inertial neural network with varying time-delays (FOINNs). Firstly, by correctly selected variable substitution, the system is transformed into a first-order fractional differential equation. Secondly, by building Lyapunov functionalities and using analytical techniques, as well as new control algorithms (which include the delay-dependent and delay-free controller), novel and effective criteria are established to attain the finite-time stabilization of the addressed system. Finally, two examples are used to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the obtained results

Finite time Synchronization of Inertial Memristive Neural Networks with Time Varying Delay

Finite time synchronization control of inertial memristor-based neural networks with varying delay is considered. In view of drive and response concept, the sufficient conditions to ensure finite time synchronization issue of inertial memristive neural networks is given. Based on Lyapunov finite time asymptotic theory, a kind of feedback controllers is designed for inertial memristorbased neural networks to realize the finite time synchronization. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, close loop error system can be proved finite time and fixed time stable. Finally, illustrative example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of theoretical results
