Pinning synchronization of fractional-order memristor-based neural networks with multiple time-varying delays via static or dynamic coupling

摘要

This paper investigates global asymptotical synchronization between fractional-order memristor-based neural networks (FMNNs) with multiple time-varying delays (MTDs) by pinning control. Two classes of coupling manners, static manner and dynamic manner, are introduced into the pinning controller respectively. For the case of static coupling, to make the controller exclude fraction, 1-norm Lyapunov function and fractional Halanay inequality in MTDs case are utilized for synthesis of controller and convergence analysis of synchronization error. For the case of dynamic coupling, a fractional differential inequality is proved and discussed in an elaborate way, and then global asymptotical synchronization is analyzed by means of Lyapunov-like function and the newly-proved inequality. Lastly, numerical simulations are carried out to show the practicability of the pinning controllers and the feasibility of the obtained synchronization criteria. (C) 2020 The Franklin Institute.
