Pinning bipartite synchronization for coupled reaction–diffusion neural networks with antagonistic interactions and switching topologies

Abstract

In this paper, the bipartite synchronization issue for a class of coupled reaction–diffusion networks with antagonistic interactions and switching topologies is investigated. First of all, by virtue of Lyapunov functional method and pinning control technique, we obtain some sufficient conditions which can guarantee that networks with signed graph topologies realize bipartite synchronization under any initial conditions and arbitrary switching signals. Secondly, for the general switching signal and periodic switching signal, a pinning controller that can ensure bipartite synchronization of reaction–diffusions networks is designed based on the obtained conditions. Meanwhile, a directed relationship between coupling strength and control gains is presented. Thirdly, numerical simulation is provided to demonstrate the correctness and validity of the derived theoretical results for reaction–diffusion systems. We briefly conclude our findings and future work.
