Event-triggered communication for H_∞ synchronization and synchronization of multi-weighted coupled neural networks with and without uncertain parameters

Abstract

In this paper, the problems of H ∞ synchronization and synchronization of multi-weighted coupled neural networks (MWCNNs) with event-triggered communication are studied. By using Lyapunov stability theory and some inequality techniques, synchronization and H ∞ synchronization criteria of MWCNNs with event-triggered communication are established. Moreover, the parameter uncertainty in the system dynamics is considered. Thus, robust synchronization and robust H ∞ synchronization strategies are also established for MWCNNs with uncertain parameters under the event-triggered communication. Finally, two numerical examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the obtained conditions.
