Mittag–Leffler synchronization for impulsive fractional-order bidirectional associative memory neural networks via optimal linear feedback control

In this paper, we are concerned with the synchronization scheme for fractional-order bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks, where both synaptic transmission delay and impulsive effect are considered. By constructing Lyapunov functional, sufficient conditions are established to ensure the Mittag–Leffler synchronization. Based on Pontryagin’s maximum principle with delay, time-dependent control gains are obtained, which minimize the accumulative errors within the limitation of actuator saturation during the Mittag–Leffler synchronization. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of theoretical results with the help of the modified predictor-corrector algorithm and the forward-backward sweep method.

Controllability of nonlinear fractional evolution systems in Banach spaces: A survey

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper presents a survey for some recent research on the controllability of nonlinear fractional evolution systems (FESs) in Banach spaces. The prime focus is exact controllability and approximate controllability of several types of FESs, which include the basic systems with classical initial and nonlocal conditions, FESs with time delay or impulsive effect. In addition, controllability results via resolvent operator are reviewed in detail. At last, the conclusions of this work and the research prospect are presented, which provides a reference for further study.</p>

Nonlinear Second Order Impulsive Difference Equations and their Oscillation Properties

In this work, we state and discuss the sufficient conditions for oscillation and nonoscillation of a class of nonlinear second order neutral impulsive difference equations with fixed moments of impulsive effect for various ranges of the neutral coefficient p(n).

Existence and Uniqueness Theorems for a Fractional Differential Equation with Impulsive Effect under Band-Like Integral Boundary Conditions

In this paper, we consider a class of nonlinear Caputo fractional differential equations with impulsive effect under multiple band-like integral boundary conditions. By constructing an available completely continuous operator, we establish some criteria for judging the existence and uniqueness of solutions. Finally, an example is presented to demonstrate our main results.
