Pseudo almost periodic synchronization of Clifford-valued fuzzy cellular neural networks with time-varying delays on time scales

Abstract

At present, the research on discrete-time Clifford-valued neural networks is rarely reported. However, the discrete-time neural networks are an important part of the neural network theory. Because the time scale theory can unify the study of discrete- and continuous-time problems, it is not necessary to separately study continuous- and discrete-time systems. Therefore, to simultaneously study the pseudo almost periodic oscillation and synchronization of continuous- and discrete-time Clifford-valued neural networks, in this paper, we consider a class of Clifford-valued fuzzy cellular neural networks on time scales. Based on the theory of calculus on time scales and the contraction fixed point theorem, we first establish the existence of pseudo almost periodic solutions of neural networks. Then, under the condition that the considered network has pseudo almost periodic solutions, by designing a novel state-feedback controller and using reduction to absurdity, we obtain that the drive-response structure of Clifford-valued fuzzy cellular neural networks on time scales with pseudo almost periodic coefficients can realize the global exponential synchronization. Finally, we give a numerical example to illustrate the feasibility of our results.
