Threshold-Function-Dependent Quasi-Synchronization of Delayed Memristive Neural Networks via Hybrid Event-Triggered Control

This article addresses the quasi-synchronization problem of delayed memristive neural networks (MNNs) via hybrid event-triggered control. First, a hybrid event-triggering mechanism with a novel threshold function is devised. Therein, an exponential decay term and a non-negative constant term are additionally introduced. It can further extend the time span between two successively triggered events and therefore can reduce the amount of triggering times in comparison with some existing event-triggering mechanisms. Then, by constructing a time-dependent and piecewise Lyapunov functional, a less conservative criterion for quasi-synchronization of drive-response delayed MNNs is formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities. In addition, an explicit expression of the error bound is provided and the design of the feedback gain is presented for a predetermined error bound. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis and the advantages of the proposed event-triggering scheme.
