The Optimization of Control Parameters: Finite-Time Bipartite Synchronization of Memristive Neural Networks With Multiple Time Delays via Saturation Function.

Abstract

This article studies the memristive neural networks with multiple time delays (MNNsMTDs). The topology of networks is signed, which contains both cooperative and competitive relationships. Two controllers without time delays are designed to achieve finite-time bipartite synchronization (FTBS) and practical FTBS (PFTBS) of MNNsMTDs. A novel controller with a saturation function rather than a sign function is proposed to avoid chattering. Along with the Lyapunov function method, some mathematical techniques, and scaling inequalities, some sufficient conditions for FTBS and PFTBS of MNNsMTDs are attained. Besides, this article also concerns fixed-time bipartite synchronization (FXBS) and practical FXBS (PFXBS) of MNNsMTDs. An optimization model is designed to obtain some optimal control parameters. An algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is provided to solve this model. Some numerical examples are included to demonstrate the correctness and applicability of the approaches.
