In this paper, the energy method is employed to analytically investigate the influence of time delay in signal transmission on synchronization between two coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) neurons. Unlike pre-existing methods that deal with synchronization problems, our major idea is to consider the change rate of the energy of the synchronization error system, since the original system’s synchronization is equivalent to the disappearance of the energy of the error system. In rewriting the original coupled system in the corresponding energy coordinates based on the energy method, we find that the change rate of energy of the error system can be divided into two parts (periodic and non-periodic). The synchronization criterion for the original system can then be obtained by letting the non-periodic part of the change rate of the energy be less than zero. The correctness of the analysis is illustrated with numerical simulations. Our analytical results show that time delay in signal transmission has very significant effects on the synchronization between two FHN neurons. If the time delay in signal transmission is not taken into account in the two coupled FHN neurons, synchronous spikes cannot be achieved in the system for any given coupling strength. By adjusting the value of the time delay in signal transmission, the neural system can freely switch between neural rest and synchronous spikes. This means that time delay in signal transmission is crucial for the occurrence of synchronous spikes in the FHN neural system, which contributes to our understanding of the interaction between neurons. We analytically show the influence of the time delay on the synchronization between two FHN neurons, which was seldom considered by other researchers.

A FitzHugh–Nagumo (FHN) model with delayed coupling is considered. For a critical case when the corresponding characteristic equation has a single zero root and a pair of purely imaginary roots, a complete bifurcation analysis is presented by employing the center manifold reduction and the normal form method. The Fold–Hopf bifurcation diagrams are provided to illustrate the correctness of our theoretical analysis. Whether almost periodic motion and bursting behavior occur in the FHN neural system with delayed coupling depends on the time delay in the signal transmission between the neurons.

In this paper, the delay-dependent state estimation problem for switched Hopfield neural networks with time-delay is investigated. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii stability theory, a new delay-dependent state estimator for switched Hopfield neural networks is established to estimate the neuron states through available output measurements such that the estimation error system is asymptotically stable. The gain matrix of the proposed estimator is characterized in terms of the solution to a linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can be checked readily by using some standard numerical packages. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed state estimator.

In this paper, the dynamical behavior of the FitzHugh–Nagumo (FHN) neural system with time delay driven by Lévy noise is studied from two aspects: the mean first-passage time (MFPT) and the probability density function (PDF) of the first-passage time (FPT). Using the Janicki–Weron algorithm to generate the Lévy noise, and through the order-4 Runge–Kutta algorithm to simulate the FHN system response, the time that the system needs from one stable state to the other one is tracked in the process. Using the MATLAB software to simulate the process above 20,000 times and recording the PFTs, the PDF of the FPT and the MFPT is obtained. Finally, the effects of the Lévy noise and time-delay on the FPT are discussed. It is found that the increase of both time-delay feedback intensity and Lévy noise intensity can promote the transition of the particle from the resting state to the excited state. However, the two parameters produce the opposite effects in the other direction.

For a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown constant parameters, uncertainty in the input gains and standard Wiener-noise, combining the system function with the known reference signal, the error system is obtained. The adaptive inverse optimal controller and adaptive laws of parameters are designed using Backstepping algorithm, thus the robust adaptive inverse optimal tracking problem of original system is solved.

Decentralized controller design using overlapping decompositions is considered for descriptor-type systems with distributed time-delay. The approach is based on the principle of extension. In this approach, a given large-scale system is decomposed overlappingly into a number of subsystems and expanded such that the overlapping parts appear as disjoint. A decentralized controller is then designed for the expanded system. This controller is then contracted for implementation on the original system. It is shown that if the decentralized controllers are designed to stabilize the expanded system and to achieve certain performance, then the contracted controller, which would have an overlapping decentralized structure, will stabilize the original system and will achieve corresponding performance

Controller design using extension is considered for descriptor-type systems with distributed time-delay. The approach is useful in decentralized controller design using overlapping decompositions. In this approach, a given largescale system is decomposed overlappingly into a number of subsystems and expanded such that the overlapping parts appear as disjoint. Since the subsystems appear as disjoint for the expanded system, it is easier to design a descentralized controller for the expanded system. This controller is then contracted for implementation on the original system. In the present paper, it is shown how to contract such a controller to guarantee stability and desired performance for the original system

This paper deals with the robustH∞filter design problem for a class of uncertain neutral stochastic systems with Markovian jumping parameters and time delay. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii theory and generalized Finsler Lemma, a delay-dependent stability condition is proposed to ensure not only that the filter error system is robustly stochastically stable but also that a prescribedH∞performance level is satisfied for all admissible uncertainties. All obtained results are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities which can be easily solved by MATLAB LMI toolbox. Numerical examples are given to show that the results obtained are both less conservative and less complicated in computation.

A finite-time bounded tracking control problem for a class of linear discrete-time systems subject to disturbances is investigated. Firstly, by applying a difference method to constructing the error system, the problem is transformed into a finite-time boundedness problem of the output vector of the error system. In fact, this is a finite-time boundedness problem with respect to the partial variables. Secondly, based on the partial stability theory and the research methods of finite-time boundedness problem, a state feedback controller formulated in form of linear matrix inequality is proposed. Based on this, a finite-time bounded tracking controller of the original system is obtained. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the controller.
