Synchronization control of stochastic delayed neural networks

In this paper, synchronization control of stochastic neural networks with time-varying delays has been considered. A novel control method is given using the Lyapunov functional method and linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. Several sufficient conditions have been derived to ensure the global asymptotical stability in mean square for the error system, and thus the drive system synchronize with the response system. Also, the estimation gains can be obtained. With these new and effective methods, synchronization can be achieved. Simulation results are given to verify the theoretical analysis in this paper.
