Robust Multimode Function Synchronization of Memristive Neural Networks with Parameter Perturbations and Time-Varying Delays

Publisher Copyright: IEEE Copyright: Copyright 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Currently, some works on studying complete synchronization of dynamical systems are usually restricted to its two special cases: 1) power-rate synchronization and 2) exponential synchronization. Therefore, how to give a generalization of these types of complete synchronization by the mathematical expression is an open question that needs to be urgently solved. To begin with, this article proposes multimode function synchronization by the mathematical expression for the first time, which is a generalization of exponential synchronization, power-rate synchronization, logarithmical synchronization, and so on. Moreover, two adaptive controllers are designed to achieve robust multimode function synchronization of memristive neural networks (MNNs) with mismatched parameters and uncertain parameters. Each adaptive controller includes function r(t) and update gain σ. By choosing different types of r(t), multiple types of complete synchronization, including power-rate synchronization and exponential synchronization can be obtained. And update gain σ can be used to adjust the speed of synchronization. Therefore, our results enlarge and strengthen the existing results. Two examples are put forward to verify the validity of our results.Peer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio

Exponential Lag Synchronization of Cohen-Grossberg Neural Networks with Discrete and Distributed Delays on Time Scales

In this article, we investigate exponential lag synchronization results for the Cohen-Grossberg neural networks (C-GNNs) with discrete and distributed delays on an arbitrary time domain by applying feedback control. We formulate the problem by using the time scales theory so that the results can be applied to any uniform or non-uniform time domains. Also, we provide a comparison of results that shows that obtained results are unified and generalize the existing results. Mainly, we use the unified matrix-measure theory and Halanay inequality to establish these results. In the last section, we provide two simulated examples for different time domains to show the effectiveness and generality of the obtained analytical results.Comment: 20 pages, 18 figure

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
