Event-Triggered Synchronization Strategy for Multiple Neural Networks With Time Delay

This paper deals with global exponential synchronization of multiple neural networks (NNs) with time delay via a very broad class of event-triggered coupling, in which coupling matrix can be non-Laplacian. Some simple and convenient sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee global exponential synchronization of the coupling NNs under an event-triggered strategy. In particular, the effect of the common subsystem can be positive or negative on the synchronization scheme. Three examples are presented to test the results in theory analysis.
