The extensively studied fractional-order dynamical networks only contain a uniform fractional derivative, which restricts the scope of fractional-order investigation. One type of Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy second-fractional-order linear networks is established in this article. First, by defining a novel Lyapunov functional, a sufficient criterion is offered to ensure global asymptotic stability of the addressed networks with time delay. Second, a fuzzy state-feedback control scheme is designed for the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy second-fractional-order delayed linear networks to achieve global stabilization. Third, considering that only a few scholars have worked on adaptive control of fractional-order networks, an adaptive control method is also designed to realize the global stabilization of the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy second-fractional-order linear networks, which does not contain the sign function and chattering problem can be averted. All results, given as algebraic criteria, are proved directly from the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy second-fractional-order networks without utilizing the reduced-order approach. Three simulation examples are conducted to show the validity of the theoretical results at last. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article concentrates on finite-time stabilization and energy consumption estimation for nonlinear systems with and without delay. By constructing an appropriate controller and utilizing inequality techniques, sufficient conditions are proposed to guarantee the finite-time stability of the delayed nonlinear system. Furthermore, the energy consumption produced in system controlling is estimated by inequality techniques. Then, we formulate similar results for the delay-free case. Finally, numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article deals with the asymptotic stability and synchronization of fractional-order neural networks (FONNs) with unbounded time-varying delays, in which FONNs can be the general nonlinear system. First, the existence of the equilibrium point of the nonlinear system is obtained, and the μ-type stability of fractional-order nonlinear systems is proved by the analytical method. Second, several sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the μ-type stability of FONNs by taking easily implemented parameters. Moreover, the μ-type synchronization of drive-response systems is established by designing the linear controller. Especially, μ-type stability is the general stability, including Mittag-Leffler stability and power-stability, which is the extension of the Mittag-Leffler stability of FONNs. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates Cohen–Grossberg neural networks (CGNNs) with unbounded time-varying delays. The existence condition of multiple equilibrium points is established by the algebraic inequality method. And then, the ${\psi }$ -type stability is studied by analysis method for CGNNs with unbounded time-varying delays, and the relative convergence rate can be adjusted by the selection of ${\psi }$ -type functions. Moreover, by introducing the topological degree, the algebraic sum of the number of equilibria remains unchanged for any smooth function in the specified metric space. Finally, one numerical example is implemented to show the validity of the presented results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is concerned with multiple Lagrange stability under perturbation for recurrent neural networks with time-varying delays. This is different from traditional Lagrange stability, which means that multiple Lagrange stability under perturbation holds for any disturbance of initial value and any structural perturbation, within a specified and well-characterized set. In this paper, multiple Lagrange stability under perturbation with respect to a finite number of trivial solutions is established, which has good robustness. Under certain perturbation, the core of the proof of the boundedness of trajectories in mutually disjoint subregions is to employ the generalized differential inequality. The results supplement and extend some previous results, and they are applicable to robust analysis of multiple equilibria. Finally, numerical calculation and simulations are implemented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates some dynamic behaviors for a fractional-order complex-valued memristive neural networks (FCVMNNs) with delays. A new mathematical expression of the complex-value memductance (memristance) is proposed according to the feature of the complex-valued memristor-based neural networks and a new class of FCVMNNs with delays is designed. Based on the framework of Filippov solution and differential inclusion theory, the sufficient conditions are given first to guarantee the global uniform asymptotic stability for the new FCVMNNs with delays, by using fractional-order Leibniz rule and a Razumikhin-type method. In addition, a complex-value adaptive controller is designed to achieve ultimate Mittag–Leffler synchronization between two FCVMNNs with delays. Numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes an adaptive neural-fuzzy sliding-mode control method for uncertain nonlinear systems with actuator effectiveness faults and input saturation. The parameter dependence of the control scheme is removed from the bound of actuator faults by updating online. A neural-fuzzy model is developed to approximate the uncertain nonlinear terms and a sliding-mode online-updating controller is developed to estimate the bound of the actuator with no prior knowledge of the fault. The asymptotic stability is verified via the Lyapunov method in the presence of actuator faults and saturation. Furthermore, the adaptive neural-fuzzy control method is extended to the uncertain faulty nonlinear systems with integral sliding-mode manifold as well as other popular sliding-mode surfaces. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the derived results. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
