This paper studies the fixed-time synchronization (FDTS) of complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) based on quantized intermittent control (QIC) and applies it to image protection and 3D point cloud information protection. A new controller was designed which achieved FDTS of the CVNNs, with the estimation of the convergence time not dependent on the initial state. Our approach divides the neural network into two real-valued systems and then combines the framework of the Lyapunov method to give criteria for FDTS. Applying synchronization to image protection, the image will be encrypted with a drive system sequence and decrypted with a response system sequence. The quality of image encryption and decryption depends on the synchronization error. Meanwhile, the depth image of the object is encrypted and then the 3D point cloud is reconstructed based on the decrypted depth image. This means that the 3D point cloud information is protected. Finally, simulation examples verify the efficacy of the controller and the synchronization criterion, giving results for applications in image protection and 3D point cloud information protection.

This paper considers the fixed-time synchronization (FIXTS) of neural networks (NNs) by using quantized intermittent control (QIC). Based on QIC, a fixed-time controller is designed to ensure that the NNs achieve synchronization in finite time. With this controller, the settling time can be estimated regardless of initial conditions. After ensuring that the system has stabilized through this strategy, it is suitable for image protection given the behavior of the system. Meanwhile, the encryption effect of the image depends on the encryption algorithm, and the quality of the decrypted image depends on the synchronization error of NNs. The numerical results show that the designed controller is effective and validate the practical application of FIXTS of NNs in image protection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the fixed-time synchronization of complex networks (CNs) with nonidentical nodes and stochastic noise perturbations. By designing new controllers, constructing Lyapunov functions and using the properties of Weiner process, different synchronization criteria are derived according to whether the node systems in the CNs or the goal system satisfies the corresponding conditions. Moreover, the role of the designed controllers is analyzed in great detail by constructing a suitable comparison system and a new method is presented to estimate the settling time by utilizing the comparison system. Results of this paper can be applied to both directed and undirected weighted networks. Numerical simulations are offered to verify the effectiveness of our new results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
