Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we focus on the pinning exponential synchronisation and passivity of coupled reaction–diffusion neural networks (CRDNNs) with and without parametric uncertainties, respectively. On the one hand, with the help of designed nonlinear pinning controllers and Lyapunov functional method, sufficient conditions are established to let the CRDNNs with hybrid coupling and mixed time-varying delays realise exponential synchronisation and passivity. On the other hand, considering that the external perturbations may lead the reaction–diffusion neural networks (RDNNs) parameters to containing uncertainties, the robust pinning exponential synchronisation and robust pinning passivity for coupled delayed RDNNs with parametric uncertainties are investigated by designing appropriate pinning control strategies. Finally, the effectiveness of the theoretical results are substantiated by the two given numerical examples.
