Abstract

This paper from new perspectives discusses the global synchronization of multiple recurrent neural networks (MNNs) with time delays via impulsive coupling. A new concept (coupling strength) is introduced, it is a variable parameter and plays a key role on synchronization. The selection of coupling strength can bring more convenience to the design of the impulsive coupling controller. Four results are presented for the synchronization of MNNs with time delays by using impulsive coupling with the coupling gain and variable topology, where two results are dependent on topology and other two results are independent on topological connectivity. In our results, the effects of each NN, coupling topology, and coupling strength can be positive or negative role on synchronization. In addition, three examples are presented to test our results in the theory analysis.
