Reliable impulsive synchronization for fuzzy neural networks with mixed controllers

Abstract

This work studies the synchronization of the master-slave (MS) fuzzy neural networks (FNNs) with random actuator failure, where the state information of the master FNNs can not be obtained directly. To reduce the loads of the communication channel and the controller, the simultaneously impulsive driven strategy of the communication channel and the controller is proposed. On the basis of the received measurements of the master FNNs, the mixed controller consisting of observer based controller and the static controller is designed. The randomly occurred actuator failure is also considered. According to the Lyapunov method, the sufficient conditions are achieved to ensure the synchronization of the MS FNNs, and the controller gains are designed by using the obtained results. The validity of the derived results is illustrated by a numerical example.
