We investigate the stochastic asymptotical synchronization of chaotic Markovian jumping fuzzy cellular neural networks （MJFCNNs） with discrete, unbounded distributed delays, and the Wiener process based on sampled-data control using the linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach. The Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional combined with the input delay approach as well as the free-weighting matrix approach is employed to derive several sufficient criteria in terms of LMIs to ensure that the delayed MJFCNNs with the Wiener process is stochastic asymptotical synchronous. Restrictions （e.g., time derivative is smaller than one） are removed to obtain a proposed sampled-data controller. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the reliability of the derived results.

HPSO-based fuzzy neural network control for AUV

A fuzzy neural network controller for underwater vehicles has many parameters difficult to tune manually. To reduce the numerous work and subjective uncertainties in manual adjustments, a hybrid particle swarm optimization （HPSO） algorithm based on immune theory and nonlinear decreasing inertia weight （NDIW） strategy is proposed. Owing to the restraint factor and NDIW strategy, an HPSO algorithm can effectively prevent premature convergence and keep balance between global and local searching abilities. Meanwhile, the algorithm maintains the ability of handling multimodal and multidimensional problems. The HPSO algorithm has the fastest convergence velocity and finds the best solutions compared to GA, IGA, and basic PSO algorithm in simulation experiments. Experimental results on the AUV simulation platform show that HPSO-based controllers perform well and have strong abilities against current disturbance. It can thus be concluded that the proposed algorithm is feasible for application to AUVs.
