Abstract

In this paper, the problem of asymptotic synchronization for a class of neural networks with reaction-diffusion terms and time-varying delays is investigated. Using the drive-response concept, a control law is derived to achieve the state synchronization of two identical neural networks with reaction-diffusion terms. Moreover, we derive a sufficient asymptotic synchronization condition for the neural networks with reaction-diffusion terms if reaction-diffusion terms satisfy a weaker condition. The synchronization condition is easy to verify and relies on the connection matrix in the driven networks and the suitable designed controller gain matrix in the response networks.
