Quasi-Synchronization of Delayed Memristive Neural Networks via Region-Partitioning-Dependent Intermittent Control

This paper aims at investigating the master-slave quasi-synchronization of delayed memristive neural networks (MNNs) by proposing a region-partitioning-dependent intermittent control. The proposed method is described by three partitions of non-negative real region and an auxiliary positive definite function. Whether the control input is imposed on the slave system or not is decided by the dynamical relationships among the three subregions and the auxiliary function. From these ingredients, several succinct criteria with the associated co-design procedure are presented such that the synchronization error converges to a predetermined level. The proposed intermittent control scheme is also applied to the event-triggered control, and an intermittent event-triggered mechanism is devised to investigate the quasi-synchronization of MNNs correspondingly. Such mechanism eliminates the events in rest time, and then it reduces the amount of samplings. Finally, two illustrative examples are presented to verify the effectiveness of our theoretical results.
