Exponential synchronization of memristive neural networks with discrete and distributed time-varying delays via event-triggered control (Q2039193)

Summary: In this paper, we investigate the exponential synchronization problem of memristive neural networks (MNNs) with discrete and distributed time-varying delays under event-triggered control. An event-triggered controller with the static and dynamic event-triggering conditions is designed to improve the efficiency of resource utilization. By constructing a new Lyapunov function, some sufficient criteria are obtained to realize the exponential synchronization of considered drive-response MNNs under the designed event-triggered controller. In addition, the Zeno behavior will not occur by proving that the event-triggering interval has a positive lower bound under different event-triggering conditions. Finally, a numerical example is provided to prove the validity of our theoretical results.
