Exponentially Stable Periodic Oscillation and Mittag-Leffler Stabilization for Fractional-Order Impulsive Control Neural Networks With Piecewise Caputo Derivatives.

Abstract

It is well known that the conventional fractional-order neural networks (FONNs) cannot generate nonconstant periodic oscillation. For this point, this article discusses a class of impulsive FONNs with piecewise Caputo derivatives (IPFONNs). By using the differential inclusion theory, the existence of the Filippov solutions for a discontinuous IPFONNs is investigated. Furthermore, some decision theorems are established for the existence and uniqueness of the (periodic) solution, global exponential stability, and impulsive control global stabilization to IPFONNs. This article achieves four key issues that were not solved in the previously existing literature: 1) the existence of at least one Filippov solution in a discontinuous IPFONN; 2) the existence and uniqueness of periodic oscillation in a nonautonomous IPFONN; 3) global exponential stability of IPFONNs; and 4) impulsive control global Mittag-Leffler stabilization for FONNs.
