General Decay Synchronization of Competitive Fuzzy Neural Networks Involving Time Delays and Right-Hand Discontinuous Activation

This paper discusses the general decay synchronization problem for a class of fuzzy competitive neural networks with time-varying delays and discontinuous activation functions. Firstly, based on the concept of Filippov solutions for right-hand discontinuous systems, some sufficient conditions for general decay synchronization of the considered system are obtained via designing a nonlinear feedback controller and applying discontinuous differential equation theory, Lyapunov functional methods and some inequality techniques. Finally, one numerical example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results. The general decay synchronization considered in this article can better estimate the convergence rate of the system, and the exponential synchronization and polynomial synchronization can be seen as its special cases.

General Decay Synchronization for Recurrent Neural Networks with Mixed Time Delays

This paper studies the general decay synchronization(GDS)of a class of recurrent neural networks(RNNs)with general activation functions and mixed time delays.By constructing suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and employing useful inequality techniques,some sufficient conditions on the GDS of considered RNNs are established via a type of nonlinear control.In addition,one example with numerical simulations is presented to illustrate the obtained theoretical results.
