Centralized and decentralized data-sampling principles for outer-synchronization of fractional-order neural networks (Q2012817)

Summary: This paper aims to investigate the outer-synchronization of fractional-order neural networks. Using centralized and decentralized data-sampling principles and the theory of fractional differential equations, sufficient criteria about outer-synchronization of the controlled fractional-order neural networks are derived for structure-dependent centralized data-sampling, state-dependent centralized data-sampling, and state-dependent decentralized data-sampling, respectively. A numerical example is also given to illustrate the superiority of theoretical results.
