Dissipativity-Based Synchronization for Switched Discrete-Time-Delayed Neural Networks With Combined Switching
Abstract:
The present study concerns the dissipativity-based synchronization problem for the discrete-time switched neural networks with time-varying delay. Different from some existing research depending on the arbitrary and time-dependent switching mechanisms, all subsystems of the investigated delayed neural networks are permitted to be nondissipative. For reducing the switching frequency, the combined switching paradigm constituted by the time-dependent and state-dependent switching strategies is then constructed. In light of the proposed dwell-time-dependent storage functional, sufficient conditions with less conservativeness are formulated, under which the resultant synchronization error system is strictly (~X,~Y,~Z) - ϑ -dissipative on the basis of the combined switching mechanism or the joint action of the switching mechanism and time-varying control input. Finally, the applicability and superiority of the theoretical results are adequately substantiated with the synchronization issue of two discrete-time switched Hopfield neural networks with time-varying delay, and the relationship among the performance index, time delay, and minimum dwell time is also revealed.

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...
