Observer-Based Boundary Stabilization of Coupled Semilinear Reaction–Diffusion Neural Networks With Spatially Varying Coefficients via Event-Triggered Controller

The aim of this article is to propose an observer-based event-triggered Robin boundary control strategy for the exponential stabilization of the coupled semilinear reaction–diffusion neural networks with spatially varying coefficients. Toward this aim, we design an observer to estimate the value of system states by using some of these system values as the available measurement. An observer-based event-triggered boundary stabilizer is then presented to exponentially stabilize the considered systems with the Zeno behavior being excluded. Throughout this article, the main used method is backstepping, which yields an explicit expression of the control formulae. Moreover, we see that the proposed event-triggered boundary control scheme can ensure the desired level of control performance with fewer control law updates. A numerical example is finally given to illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.
