Abstract
This paper investigates the cluster synchronization of coupled neural networks with reaction-diffusion terms. With the help of impulsive control strategies, some cluster synchronization criteria are proposed by an appropriate event-triggered mechanism. A numerical example is given to verify the validity of the theoretical results. Additionally, the proposed event-triggered impulsive synchronization is successfully applied to image encryption with encouraging cryptanalysis results demonstrating its strong ability to efficiently encrypt images.
