Abstract

How the network topology drives the response dynamic is a basic question that has not yet been fully answered in neural networks. Elucidating the internal relation between topological structures and dynamics is instrumental in our understanding of brain function. Recent studies have revealed that the ring structure and star structure have a great influence on the dynamical behavior of neural networks. In order to further explore the role of topological structures in the response dynamic, we construct a new tree structure that differs from the ring structure and star structure of traditional neural networks. Considering the diffusion effect, we propose a diffusion neural network model with binary tree structure and multiple delays. How to design control strategies to optimize brain function has also been an open question. Thus, we put forward a novel full-dimensional nonlinear state feedback control strategy to optimize relevant neurodynamics. Some conditions about the local stability and Hopf bifurcation are obtained, and it is proved that the Turing instability does not occur. Moreover, for the formation of the spatially homogeneous periodic solution, some diffusion conditions are also fused together. Finally, several numerical examples are carried out to illustrate the results' correctness. Meanwhile, some comparative experiments are rendered to reveal the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
