Aperiodically intermittent quantized control-based exponential synchronization of quaternion-valued inertial neural networks.

Abstract

Inertial neural networks are proposed via introducing an inertia term into the Hopfield models, which make their dynamic behavior more complex compared to the traditional first-order models. Besides, the aperiodically intermittent quantized control over conventional feedback control has its potential advantages on reducing communication blocking and saving control cost. Based on these facts, we are mainly devoted to exploring of exponential synchronization of quaternion-valued inertial neural networks under aperiodically intermittent quantized control. Firstly, a compact quaternion-valued aperiodically intermittent quantized control protocol is developed, which can mitigate significantly the complexity of theoretical derivation. Subsequently, several concise criteria involving matrix inequalities are formulated through constructing a type of Lyapunov functional and employing a direct analysis approach. The correctness of the obtained results eventually is verified by a typical example.
