Improved Control Schemes for Projective Synchronization of Delayed Neural Networks with Unmatched Coefficients.

Projective synchronization (PS) is a type of chaos synchronization where the states of slave system are scaled replicas of the states of master system. This paper studies the asymptotic projective synchronization (APS) between master–slave chaotic neural networks (NNs) with mixed time-delays and unmatched coefficients. Based on useful inequality techniques and constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, some simple criteria are derived to ensure the APS of considered networks via designing a novel adaptive feedback controller. In addition, a numerical example and its MATLAB simulations are provided to check the feasibility of the obtained results. The main innovation of our work is that we dealt with the APS problem between two different chaotic NNs, while most of the existing works only concerned with the PS of chaotic systems with the same topologies. In addition, compared with the controllers introduced in the existing papers, the designed controller in this paper does not require any knowledge about the activation functions, which can be seen as another novelty of the paper.
