Sampled-Data Synchronization of Stochastic Markovian Jump Neural Networks With Time-Varying Delay.

In this article, sampled-data synchronization problem for stochastic Markovian jump neural networks (SMJNNs) with time-varying delay under aperiodic sampled-data control is considered. By constructing mode-dependent one-sided loop-based Lyapunov functional and mode-dependent two-sided loop-based Lyapunov functional and using the Itô formula, two different stochastic stability criteria are proposed for error SMJNNs with aperiodic sampled data. The slave system can be guaranteed to synchronize with the master system based on the proposed stochastic stability conditions. Furthermore, two corresponding mode-dependent aperiodic sampled-data controllers design methods are presented for error SMJNNs based on these two different stochastic stability criteria, respectively. Finally, two numerical simulation examples are provided to illustrate that the design method of aperiodic sampled-data controller given in this article can effectively stabilize unstable SMJNNs. It is also shown that the mode-dependent two-sided looped-functional method gives less conservative results than the mode-dependent one-sided looped-functional method.
