Memory-Event-Triggered H∞ Output Control of Neural Networks With Mixed Delays.

This article investigates the problem of memory-event-triggered H∞ output feedback control for neural networks with mixed delays (discrete and distributed delays). The probability density of the communication delay among neurons is modeled as the kernel of the distributed delay. To reduce network communication burden, a novel memory-event-triggered scheme (METS) using the historical system output is introduced to choose which data should be sent to the controller. Based on a constructed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) with the distributed delay kernel and a generalized integral inequality, new sufficient conditions are formed by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) for designing an event-triggered H∞ controller. Finally, experiments based on a computer and a real wireless network are executed to confirm the validity of the developed method.
