Synchronization control of quaternion-valued memristive neural networks with and without event-triggered scheme.

In this paper, the real-valued memristive neural networks (MNNs) are extended to quaternion field, a new class of neural networks named quaternion-valued memristive neural networks (QVMNNs) is then established. The problem of master-slave synchronization of this type of networks is investigated in this paper. Two types of controllers are designed: the traditional feedback controller and the event-triggered controller. Corresponding synchronization criteria are then derived based on Lyapunov method. Moreover, it is demonstrated that Zeno behavior can be avoided in case of the event-triggered strategy proposed in this work. Finally, corresponding simulation examples are proposed to demonstrate the correctness of the proposed results derived in this work. © Springer Nature B.V. 2019.
