Pinning Impulsive Synchronization of Reaction-Diffusion Neural Networks With Time-Varying Delays
Abstract:
This paper investigates the exponential synchronization of reaction-diffusion neural networks with time-varying delays subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. A novel type of pinning impulsive controllers is proposed to synchronize the reaction-diffusion neural networks with time-varying delays. By applying the Lyapunov functional method, sufficient verifiable conditions are constructed for the exponential synchronization of delayed reaction-diffusion neural networks with large and small delay sizes. It is shown that synchronization can be realized by pinning impulsive control of a small portion of neurons of the network; the technique used in this paper is also applicable to reaction-diffusion networks with Neumann boundary conditions. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Propagation of Action Potentials
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...
