IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems
|March 21, 2015
Summary
This study introduces new methods for stabilizing and synchronizing discrete-time delayed neural networks (DDNNs) using impulses. The findings offer criteria for exponential stability and enable synchronization of chaotic DDNNs for secure communication.
Area of Science:
- Control Theory
- Computational Neuroscience
- Applied Mathematics
Background:
- Discrete-time delayed neural networks (DDNNs) present complex dynamics.
- Impulsive control strategies are crucial for stabilizing and synchronizing such systems.
- Existing methods often struggle with time delays and require specific interval lengths.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate impulsive stabilization and synchronization for discrete-time delayed neural networks (DDNNs).
- To develop novel criteria for exponential stability in DDNNs with stabilizing impulses.
- To propose an impulsive synchronization scheme for identical DDNNs, even with unknown delays.
Main Methods:
- Introduction of a time-varying Lyapunov functional to analyze system dynamics.
- Application of a convex combination technique for deriving stability criteria.
- Development of linear-state feedback impulsive controllers.
- Proposal of a novel impulsive synchronization scheme for identical DDNNs.
Main Results:
- New exponential stability criteria derived using linear matrix inequalities.
- Stability criteria are independent of time delay size but dependent on impulsive interval lengths.
- Sufficient conditions for the existence of linear-state feedback impulsive controllers are established.
- A novel impulsive synchronization scheme effectively synchronizes identical DDNNs with unknown delays.
Conclusions:
- The derived criteria provide effective methods for impulsive stabilization and synchronization of DDNNs.
- The proposed synchronization scheme has practical applications, such as in secure communication using chaotic DDNNs.
- Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the presented theoretical findings.

Neural Circuits

Neural circuits and neuronal pools are two of the main structures found in the nervous system. Neural circuits are networks of neurons that work together to carry out a specific task or process. They consist of interconnected neurons and glial cells, which provide structural and metabolic support.
Neuronal pools are collections of nerve cells with similar functions and interact through chemical and electrical signals. These pools include both interneurons (the central neural circuit nodes that...

BIBO stability of continuous and discrete -time systems
1.1K
System stability is a fundamental concept in signal processing, often assessed using convolution. For a system to be considered bounded-input bounded-output (BIBO) stable, any bounded input signal must produce a bounded output signal. A bounded input signal is one where the modulus does not exceed a certain constant at any point in time.
To determine the BIBO stability, the convolution integral is utilized when a bounded continuous-time input is applied to a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system....

Propagation of Action Potentials
15.7K
The propagation of an action potential refers to the process by which a nerve impulse, or "action potential," travels along a neuron.
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...

Long-term Potentiation
59.7K
Long-term potentiation, or LTP, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTP is the process of synaptic strengthening that occurs over time between pre- and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic strengthening of LTP works in opposition to the synaptic weakening of long-term depression (LTD) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.
