Finite-time synchronisation for Markovian master-slave neural networks with weighted try-once-discard protocol and static intermittent control

Abstract

This paper studies the finite-time synchronisation (FTS) issue for Markovian master-slave neural networks (NNs). A weighted try-once-discard (WTOD) protocol is introduced to overcome communication constraints, and an intermittent control strategy is employed to surmount energy constraints. A WTOD and parameter dependent static feedback controller is designed for the slave neural networks. Then, sufficient conditions are developed to achieve FTS for the considered master-slave NNs, and the controller design method is obtained. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate and verify the derived results.
