Synchronization of boundary coupled Hindmarsh-rose neuron network (Q2208745)

The considered neural network consists of a central neuron with state variables ($u ,v ,\omega$) and \(m\) neighbor neurons coupled with the central one and having state variables ($u_i,v_i,\omega _i$). The dynamics of the network is described by a system of Hindmarsh-Rose equations: $\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}=d \Delta u + au^2-bu^3+v-\omega+J,$ $\frac{\partial v}{\partial t}=\alpha- v - \beta u^2,$ $\frac{\partial \omega}{\partial t}= q (u-c)-r \omega,$ $\frac{\partial u_i}{\partial t} = d {\Delta} u_i + a{u_i}^2-b{u_i}^3+v_i-\omega_i+J,$ $\frac{\partial v_i}{\partial t} = \alpha-v_i - \beta {u_i}^2,$ $\frac{\partial \omega_i}{\partial t}= q (u_i-c)-r \omega_i.$ for $i=1,\dots,m$. The system is subject to initial and coupled boundary conditions with $t>0$, $x\in\Omega\subset \mathbb R^n$, $n\leq 3$. The initial-boundary value problem is formulated as an initial value problem for an evolutionary equation and one proves the existence of a unique global weak solution in time for this problem and its continuous dependence on initial data. If a special threshold condition for stimulation signal strength of the boundary coupled Hindmarsh-Rose neural network is satisfied, a result on the asymptotic synchronization of the neural network is proved.
