Exponential quasi-synchronization of coupled delayed memristive neural networks via intermittent event-triggered control.

Firstly, an intermittent event-triggered control (IETC), as a combination of intermittent control and event-triggered control, is proposed. Then, the quasi-synchronization problem of coupled memristive neural networks with time-varying delays (CDMNN) is discussed under this IETC. To include more of the existing work, aperiodic intermittent control and event-triggered control with combined measurement errors are adopted in the IETC. Under the IETC, it is shown that Zeno behavior cannot be exhibited for CDMNN. At the same time, two new differential inequalities are established, and some simple and practical criteria for CDMNN quasi-synchronization and synchronization are obtained by using these inequalities. In the obtained results, synchronization is a spatial case of quasi-synchronization, and the activation functions of DMNN do not need to be bounded. Finally, a numerical example and some simulations are provided to test the results in theoretical analysis.
