Non-fragile H∞ synchronization of memristor-based neural networks using passivity theory.

Abstract

In this paper, we formulate and investigate the mixed H∞ and passivity based synchronization criteria for memristor-based recurrent neural networks with time-varying delays. Some sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the synchronization of the considered neural network based on the master-slave concept, differential inclusions theory and Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory. Also, the memristive neural network is considered with two different types of memductance functions and two types of gain variations. The results for non-fragile observer-based synchronization are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed criterion is demonstrated through numerical examples.
