Cluster synchronization in an array of coupled stochastic delayed neural networks via pinning control

Abstract

In this paper, cluster synchronization problem is studied for an array of coupled stochastic delayed neural networks by using pinning control strategy. Based on the free matrix approach and stochastic analysis techniques, some sufficient criteria are derived to ensure cluster synchronization of the network model if a single linear or adaptive feedback controller is added to each cluster. Furthermore, two specific methods are given to achieve desired cluster synchronization pattern. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.
