ADAPTIVE SYNCHRONIZATION FOR UNKNOWN STOCHASTIC CHAOTIC NEURAL NETWORKS WITH MIXED TIME-DELAYS BY OUTPUT COUPLING

This paper is concerned with the synchronization problem for a class of stochastic neural networks with unknown parameters and mixed time-delays via output coupling. The mixed time-delays comprise the time-varying delay and distributed delay, and the neural networks are subjected to stochastic disturbances described in terms of a Brownian motion. Firstly, we use Lyapunov functions to establish general theoretical conditions for designing the output coupling matrix. Secondly, by using the adaptive feedback technique, a simple, analytical and rigorous approach is proposed to synchronize the stochastic neural networks with unknown parameters and mixed time-delays. Finally, numerical simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
