Multiple Mismatched Synchronization for Coupled Memristive Neural Networks With Topology-Based Probability Impulsive Mechanism on Time Scales

This article is concerned with the exponential synchronization of coupled memristive neural networks (CMNNs) with multiple mismatched parameters and topology-based probability impulsive mechanism (TPIM) on time scales. To begin with, a novel model is designed by taking into account three types of mismatched parameters, including: 1) mismatched dimensions; 2) mismatched connection weights; and 3) mismatched time-varying delays. Then, the method of auxiliary-state variables is adopted to deal with the novel model, which implies that the presented novel model can not only use any isolated system (regard as a node) in the coupled system to synchronize the states of CMNNs but also can use an external node, that is, not affiliated to the coupled system to synchronize the states of CMNNs. Moreover, the TPIM is first proposed to efficiently schedule information transmission over the network, possibly subject to a series of nonideal factors. The novel control protocol is more robust against these nonideal factors than the traditional impulsive control mechanism. By means of the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, robust analysis approach, and some inequality processing techniques, exponential synchronization conditions unifying the continuous-time and discrete-time systems are derived on the framework of time scales. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the main results.
