Exponential synchronization of coupled neural networks under stochastic deception attacks.

Abstract

In this paper, the issue of synchronization is investigated for coupled neural networks subject to stochastic deception attacks. Firstly, a general differential inequality with delayed impulses is given. Then, the established differential inequality is further extended to the case of delayed stochastic impulses, in which both the impulsive instants and impulsive intensity are stochastic. Secondly, by modeling the stochastic discrete-time deception attacks as stochastic impulses, synchronization criteria of the coupled neural networks under the corresponding attacks are given. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the correctness of the theoretical results.
