Quasisynchronization of Delayed Neural Networks With Discontinuous Activation Functions on Time Scales via
Abstract:
Almost all event-triggered control (ETC) strategies were designed for discrete-time or continuous-time systems. In order to unify these existing theoretical results of ETC and develop ETC strategies for nonlinear systems, whose state variables evolve steadily at one time and change intermittently at another time, this article investigates quasisynchronization of delayed neural networks (NNs) on time scales with discontinuous activation functions via ETC approaches. First, the existence of the Filippov solutions is proved for discontinuous NNs with finite discontinuities. Second, two static event-triggered conditions and two dynamic event-triggered conditions are established to avoid continuous communication between the master-slave systems under algebraic/matrix inequality criteria. Third, under static/dynamic event-triggered conditions, a positive lower bound of event-triggered intervals is demonstrated to be greater than a positive number for each event-based controller, which shows that the Zeno behavior will not occur. Finally, two numerical simulations are carried out to show the effectiveness of the presented theoretical results in this article.

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...
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...
