Synchronization Criteria for Discontinuous Neural Networks With Mixed Delays via Functional Differential Inclusions
Dongshu Wang, Lihong Huang, Longkun Tang · IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems · 2017
This paper investigates the issue of global exponential synchronization for a class of general neural networks that contains discontinuous activation functions and mixed time delays. Functional differential inclusions and nonsmooth analysis theories are used as bases to design discontinuous controllers, such that the discontinuous neural networks can be exponential complete synchronized. This novel approach and its applicability to neural networks with continuous activations are also easily verified. Several numerical examples demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the design method.
