Quasi‐synchronisation of fractional‐order memristor‐based neural networks with parameter mismatches

Abstract

This study addresses the problem of quasi-synchronisation of fractional-order memristor-based neural networks (FMNNs) with time delay in the presence of parameter mismatches. Under the framework of fractional-order differential inclusions and set-valued maps, quasi-synchronisation of delayed FMNNs is discussed and quasi-synchronisation criteria are established by means of constructing suitable Lyapunov function, together with introducing some fractional-order differential inequalities. A new lemma on the estimate of Mittag–Leffler function is derived first, which extends the application of Mittag–Leffler function and plays a key role in the estimate of synchronisation error bound. Then, linear state feedback combined with delayed state feedback control law is designed, which guarantees that for a predetermined synchronisation error bound, quasi-synchronisation of two FMNNs with mismatched parameters will be achieved provided that the feedback gains satisfy the newly-proposed criteria. The obtained results extend and improve some previous published works on synchronisation of FMNNs. Finally, two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
