Passivity and Synchronization of Coupled Uncertain Reaction–Diffusion Neural Networks With Multiple Time Delays

This paper presents a complex network model consisting of N uncertain reaction-diffusion neural networks with multiple time delays. We analyze the passivity and synchronization of the proposed network model and derive several passivity and synchronization criteria based on some inequality techniques. In addition, by considering the difficulty in achieving passivity (synchronization) in such a network, an adaptive control scheme is also developed to ensure that the proposed network achieves passivity (synchronization). Finally, we design two numerical examples to verify the effectiveness of the derived passivity and synchronization criteria.
