Sampled-Data Synchronization of Markovian Coupled Neural Networks with Time-Varying Mode Delays

In this chapter, we address the sampled-data synchronization of Markovian coupled neural networks with mode-dependent interval time-varying delays and aperiodic sampling intervals based on enhanced input delay method. The mode-dependent augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional including several mode-dependent matrices is adopted in this chapter. The new delay-dependent synchronization conditions are proposed based on extended Jensen’s integral inequality, which fully adopts the upper bound of variable sampling interval and the sawtooth structure information of varying input delay. In addition, the mode-dependent sampled-data controllers are proposed based on the delay-dependent synchronization criteria. Finally, two examples are proposed to show the effectiveness of the results.
