Event‐triggered pinning control for passivity and synchronization of directly coupled delayed reaction‐diffusion neural networks

Summary This article solves event‐triggered pinning control for passivity and synchronization problems of directly coupled delayed reaction‐diffusion neural networks (CDRDNNs). Outer coupling matrix of the presented model can be direct, while previous literature referred to reaction‐diffusion neural networks usually assumed this matrix undirected simply. First, through exploiting appropriate event‐triggered pinning protocol, passivity and synchronization criteria are acquired for directly CDRDNNs on account of Lyapunov functional and inequality techniques. After that, we also deal with event‐triggered pinning passivity and synchronization for undirected CDRDNNs. In the end, the effectiveness of these obtained results is verified by given examples.
