Sampling-Based Event-Triggered Exponential Synchronization for Reaction-Diffusion Neural Networks

In this article, the exponential synchronization control issue of reaction–diffusion neural networks (RDNNs) is mainly resolved by the sampling-based event-triggered scheme under Dirichlet boundary conditions. Based on the sampled state information, the event-triggered control protocol is updated only when the triggering condition is met, which effectively reduces the communication burden and saves energy. In addition, the proposed control algorithm is combined with sampled-data control, which can effectively avoid the Zeno phenomenon. By thinking of the proper Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and using some momentous inequalities, a sufficient condition is obtained for RDNNs to achieve exponential synchronization. Finally, some simulation results are shown to demonstrate the validity of the algorithm.
