Synchronization of Memristive Complex-Valued Neural Networks With Time Delays via Pinning Control Method

This article concentrates on the synchronization problem of memristive complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) with time delays via the pinning control method. Different from general control schemes, the pinning control is beneficial to reduce the control cost by pinning the fractional nodes instead of all ones. By separating the complex-valued system into two equivalent real-valued systems and employing the Lyapunov functional as well as some inequality techniques, the asymptotic synchronization criterion is given to guarantee the realization of synchronization of memristive CVNNs. Meanwhile, sufficient conditions for exponential synchronization of the considered systems is also proposed. Finally, the validity of our proposed results is verified by a numerical example.
