Fault-Tolerant Synchronization for Memristive Neural Networks With Multiple Actuator Failures

By using the fault-tolerant control method, the synchronization of memristive neural networks (MNNs) subjected to multiple actuator failures is investigated in this article. The considered actuator failures include the effectiveness failure and the lock-in-place failure, which are different from previous results. First of all, the mathematical expression of the control inputs in the considered system is given by introducing the models of the above two types of actuator failures. Following, two classes of synchronization strategies, which are state feedback control strategies and event-triggered control strategies, are proposed by using some inequality techniques and Lyapunov stability theories. The designed controllers can, respectively, guarantee the realization of synchronizations of the global exponential, the finite-time and the fixed-time for the MNNs by selecting different parameter conditions. Then the estimations of settling times of provided synchronization schemes are computed and the Zeno phenomenon of proposed event-triggered strategies is explicitly excluded. Finally, two experiments are conducted to confirm the availability of given synchronization strategies.
