Abstract:
This paper investigates the synchronization problem of time-delay dynamical networks by means of hybrid delayed impulses, where synchronizing impulses and desynchronizing impulses can occur simultaneously. Some sufficient synchronization conditions are established based on Razumikhin-type inequality and Lyapunov function. These conditions do not place any limitation on the magnitude of time-delay in dynamical networks. To be specific, it can be less than or greater than the length of impulses intervals and has no magnitude relationship with delays in impulses. Moreover, results indicate that delays in impulses have positive contributions to synchronization. The effectiveness of the theoretical results is demonstrated by two numerical examples.

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...
