Nonlinear output control scheme for general decay synchronization of delayed neural networks with inertial term
Abdujelil Abdurahman, Haijun Jiang, Malika Sader · International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control · 2019
Summary This study is mainly concerned with the general decay synchronization (GDS) problem of a class of inertial neural networks (INNs) with time‐varying delay. First, unlike the methods used in previous relevant literature where both of the master and slave systems were transferred into the first‐order differential equations, only error dynamical system is transferred into the reduced‐order differential equation. Then, by designing a novel nonlinear output feedback controller and constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals, some simple and useful sufficient conditions ensuring the GDS of considered INNs are established via employing useful analysis techniques and linear matrix inequality approach. In addition, two examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the established theoretical results.
