Exponential Synchronization Control of Discontinuous Nonautonomous Networks and Autonomous Coupled Networks

Abstract EN

This paper concerns complex delayed neural networks with discontinuous activations.

Based on the framework of differential inclusion theory, we design two novel controllers by regulating a parameter σ 0≤σ<1 which covers both discontinuous and continuous controllers.

Then, we investigate a nonautonomous cellular neural network system and autonomous neural network with linear coupling, respectively.

By choosing a time-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional candidate and suitable controllers, some criteria are studied to guarantee the exponential synchronization of the complex delayed dynamical network.

Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate our theoretical analysis.
