Adaptive Synchronization in Unknown Stochastic Chaotic Neural Networks with Mixed Time-Varying Delays

Neural networks (NNs) have been useful in many fields, such as pattern recognition, image processing etc. Recently, synchronization of chaotic neural networks (CNNs) has drawn increasing attention due to the high security of neural networks. In this chapter, the problem of synchronization and parameter identification for a class of chaotic neural networks with stochastic perturbation via state and output coupling, which involve both the discrete and distributed time-varying delays has been investigated. Using adaptive feedback techniques, several sufficient conditions have been derived to ensure the synchronization of stochastic chaotic neural networks. Moreover, all the connection weight matrices can be estimated while the lag synchronization and complete synchronization is achieved in mean square at the same time. The corresponding simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
