This study achieves bipartite leader-following synchronization in signed neural networks using pinning control. It establishes conditions for synchronization with bounded, differentiable, and non-differentiable delays.
Area of Science:
- Control Theory
- Network Science
- Computational Neuroscience
Background:
- Signed networks feature both positive and negative connections, posing unique synchronization challenges.
- Leader-following synchronization is crucial for coordinated behavior in complex systems.
- Coupled delayed neural networks are fundamental models in understanding brain dynamics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate bipartite leader-following synchronization in signed networks of coupled delayed neural networks.
- To develop control strategies for achieving synchronization under various delay conditions.
- To establish theoretical conditions and practical methods for synchronization analysis.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing pinning control strategy and M-matrix theory for network control.
- Deriving conditions based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) for differentiable delays.
- Applying descriptor systems and the reciprocally convex approach for non-differentiable delays.
Main Results:
- A sufficient condition for bipartite leader-following synchronization in signed networks with bounded, differentiable delays was derived.
- An algebraic formula was developed to estimate the upper bound of node-delay.
- Criteria were established to solve the synchronization problem for bounded, non-differentiable delays.
Conclusions:
- The proposed methods effectively achieve bipartite leader-following synchronization in signed networks of coupled delayed neural networks.
- The theoretical findings are validated through numerical simulations, demonstrating practical applicability.
- The study contributes robust control strategies for synchronization in complex, signed, and delayed network systems.
