This study introduces an event-triggered control for Markov jumping neural networks, ensuring H∞/passive synchronization despite deception attacks. The method optimizes communication bandwidth while maintaining robust control performance.
Area of Science:
- Control Theory
- Networked Systems
- Applied Mathematics
Background:
- Master-slave synchronization is crucial for complex systems.
- Markov jumping neural networks (MJNNs) exhibit state-dependent dynamics.
- Reaction-diffusion terms introduce spatial complexity.
- Deception attacks pose significant security threats to control systems.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate H∞/passive master-slave synchronization for MJNNs with reaction-diffusion terms.
- To develop an event-triggered control scheme to reduce communication load.
- To address the challenge of deception attacks that alter control signals.
Main Methods:
- An event-triggered transmission scheme is designed to optimize communication bandwidth.
- Lyapunov stability theory is extended to derive sufficient conditions for synchronization.
- Matrix convex optimization is employed to determine controller gains.
- The proposed method accounts for randomly occurring deception attacks.
Main Results:
- Sufficient conditions for achieving the prescribed H∞/passive performance level are established.
- The event-triggered control scheme effectively manages communication bandwidth.
- The controller design handles deception attacks by considering sign modifications.
- The proposed approach is validated through a numerical example.
Conclusions:
- The developed event-triggered control scheme ensures robust H∞/passive synchronization for MJNNs under deception attacks.
- The methodology balances control performance with communication efficiency.
- The findings contribute to the secure and efficient control of complex networked systems.

Masking and Demasking Agents
There are many masking agents, such as cyanide, fluoride, triethanolamine, thiourea, and 2,3-bis(sulfanyl)propan-1-ol (formerly 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol), with the masking agent chosen based on...
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...
Entropy Change in Reversible Processes
The statement can be further generalized to prove that entropy is a state function. Take a cyclic process between any two points on a p-V diagram.
