The drive-response synchronization of delayed neural networks with discontinuous activation functions is investigated via adaptivecontrolThe synchronization of this paper means that the synchronization error approaches to zero for almost all time as time goesto infinity The discontinuous activation functions are assumed to be monotone increasing which can be unbounded Due to themild condition on the discontinuous activations adaptive control technique is utilized to control the response system Under theframework of Filippov solution by using Lyapunov function and chain rule of differential inclusion rigorous proofs are given toshow that adaptive control can realize complete synchronization of the consideredmodelThe results of this paper are also applicableto continuous neural networks since continuous function is a special case of discontinuous function Numerical simulations verifythe effectiveness of the theoretical results Moreover when there are parameter mismatches between drive and response neuralnetworks with discontinuous activations numerical example is also presented to demonstrate the complete synchronization byusing discontinuous adaptive control
1 Introduction
In the last decades synchronization of coupled chaoticsystems (including fractional-order chaotic systems andinteger-order chaotic systems [1ndash3]) has received increasingresearch attention from different branches of science andapplication fields due to its potential applications such assecure communication biological systems and informationscience [4 5] Along with the presentation of different kindsof synchronization such as complete synchronization [6]lag synchronization [7 8] quasi-synchronization [9 10]projective synchronization [11ndash13] and generalized synchro-nization [14 15] many controlmethods have been developedfor instance state feedback control [9 16] and adaptivecontrol [7 15 17] The adaptive control technique derivesspecial attention since its control gains need not to be knownin advance and can self-adjust according to the designedadaptive law
Delayed neural networks as a class of important func-tional differential equations have witnessed many applica-tions in different areas such as signal processing associa-tive memories classification of patterns and optimizationTherefore investigating dynamical behaviors of neural net-works with various parameters has long been an intensiveresearch topic such as stability of equilibrium point [18]and chaos synchronization [7] However the activationfunctions in most of known models including those in [718] are accompanied by the assumption of continuity oreven Lipschitz continuity Actually neural networks withdiscontinuous neuron activations are ideal models for thecase where the gain of the neuron amplifiers is very high andis frequently arising in the applications [19 20] Thereforein the literature there were some results on dynamicalbehaviors of neural networks with discontinuous activationfunctions For instance Forti et al investigated the stabilityand global convergence of delayed and nondelayed neural

networks with discontinuous activations in [19 20] authorsin [21ndash23] studied the global robust stability of delayedneural networks with discontinuous neuron activations in[24 25] authors considered existence and global convergenceof periodic and almost periodic solutions of neural networkswith discontinuous activations
On the other hand although there were many resultsconcerning synchronization of chaotic neural networks fewpublished papers considered the same issue for neural net-works with discontinuous activations and we only found[10 26] The difficulty comes from the discontinuity ofactivations The methods utilized to analyze the stabilityof neural networks with discontinuous activations cannotbe extended to chaos synchronization case directly In [10]authors investigated quasi-synchronization of discontinuousneural networks with and without parameter mismatchesthat is synchronization error can only be controlled to a smallregion around zero but cannot approach to zero Resultsof [10] revealed that complete synchronization is difficult tobe realized due to the discontinuity of activation functionIt is known that one of the most important applications ofchaos synchronization is in secure communication Whenchaos synchronization is applied to secure communicationonly when the drive and response systems achieve completesynchronization can the transmitted signal be fingered outTherefore it is necessary to study complete synchroniza-tion of neural networks with discontinuous activations In[26] complete synchronization of discontinuous neural net-works was investigated via approximation and linear matrixinequality (LMI) approach But we find that through theapproximation approach used in [26] the control gain isuncertain and may be very large which leads to inappli-cablility in practice On the other hand some results onsynchronization and control of discontinuous dynamicalsystems are complex which are difficult to be verified Forinstance synchronization criteria obtained in [27] were interms of integral inequality and the restrict condition onthe discontinuity of discontinuous function was weakenedthat is as time goes to infinity the discontinuous functionapproaches to a continuous function From the above analy-sis investigating the synchronization of neural networks withdiscontinuous activations is really a tough task
Being motivated by the above analysis this paper inves-tigates asymptotic complete synchronization of neural net-works with discontinuous activation functions via adaptivecontrol technique Because of the discontinuity of the acti-vation functions the solution is in the sense of differentialinclusion by the Filippov theory [28] and the complete syn-chronization of this paper means that the state error betweenthe derive (or master) and response systems approaches tozero for almost all (aa) time as time goes to infinity We donot impose the restriction conditions of growth condition onactivation function The discontinuous activations are onlyassumed to be monotone increasing and can be unboundedDue to the mild condition on the discontinuous activationsthe precise control gain is difficult to be determined andthe state feedback control is not so good as the adaptivecontrol technique Under the framework of Filippov solutionby using Lyapunov function and chain rule of differential
inclusion rigorous proofs are given for the asymptotic sta-bility of the error system of the coupled systems Numericalsimulations show the effectiveness of the theoretical resultsMoreover when there are parameter mismatches betweendriver and response neural networks with discontinuous acti-vations numerical example is presented to demonstrate thecomplete synchronization by using discontinuous adaptivecontrol

2 Preliminaries
In this paper we consider the delayed neural network whichis described as follows
(119905) = minus119862119909 (119905) + 119860119891 (119909 (119905)) + 119861119891 (119909 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869 (1)
where 119909(119905) = (1199091(119905) 1199092(119905) 119909
119899(119905)) isin R119899 is the state

2(1199092(119905)) 119891
119899(119909119899(119905)))119879 represents the output of
the network 119869 = (1198691 1198692 119869
119899) is the external input vector
As for neural networks (1) we give the following assump-tion condition
Assumption 1 For every 119894 = 1 2 119899 119891119894 R rarr R is
monotone nondecreasing and has at most a finite number ofjump discontinuities in every compact interval
Remark 2 Assumption 1 was used in [20] Any functionsatisfying this assumption condition does not need to becontinuously differentiable in compact interval However thecontinuous differentiability is necessary in [10 26] On theother hand the ldquomonotone nondecreasingrdquo can be replacedby ldquomonotonic functionrdquo For instance if we replace the

1198911(1199091) is the same function as that in example and

Obviously the 1198911is monotone increasing and the 119891
2is
monotone decreasing but the obtained system and theoriginal system are identical Furthermore the results of thispaper are also applicable to neural networks with continuousmonotone activation functions since continuous function isa special case of discontinuous function
Since119891(119909) is discontinuous at isolate jumping points onecannot define a solution in the conventional senseThereforewe resort to the notion of Filippov solution and stabilityresults on differential inclusion [28] Filippov solution is oneof notions to deal with the discontinuity that determinethe solution on the discontinuous surface with a set-valuedmapping
The Filippov set-valued map of 119891(119909) at 119909 isin R119899 is definedas follows [28]
119865 (119909) = ⋂
120575gt0
⋂
120583(119873)=0
119870[119891 (119861 (119909 120575) 119873)] (4)
where 119870[119864] is the closure of the convex hull of the set 119864119861(119909 120575) = 119910 119910minus119909 le 120575 and 120583(119873) is the Lebesguemeasureof set119873
When 119891(119909) satisfies Assumption 1 it is not difficult to getfrom (4) that
119865 (119909) = 119870 [119891 (119909)]
= (119870 [1198911(1199091)] 119870 [119891

119899(1199091)])

Definition 3 (see [19]) A function 119909 [minus120579 119879) rarr R119899119879 isin (0 +infin] is a solution (in the sense of Filippov) of thediscontinuous system (1) on [minus120579 119879) if
(i) 119909 is continuous on [minus120579 119879) and absolutely continuouson [0 119879)
(ii) there exists a measurable function 120574 =

[minus120579 119879) rarr R119899 such that120574(119909(119905)) isin 119870[119891(119909(119905))] for almost all (aa) 119905 isin [minus120579 119879)and (119905) = minus119862119909 (119905) + 119860120574 (119909 (119905)) + 119861120574 (119909 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869
for aa 119905 isin [0 119879) (6)
Note that the measurable function 120574(119909(119905)) is a single-value function which is called the measurable selection of119870[119891(119909(119905))] Any function 120574(119909(119905)) satisfying (6) is called anoutput associated to 119909(119905) In this paper we assume that thetrajectory of the solution 119909(119905) of neural network (1) is chaotic
The next definition is the initial value problem (IVP)associated to system (1)

119909 (119904) = 120601 (119904) forall119904 isin [minus120579 0]
120574 (119909 (119904)) = 120595 (119904) for aa 119904 isin [minus120579 0]
(7)
Lemma 5 (see [20]) Suppose that Assumption 1 is satisfiedThen any IVP for (1) has at least a local solution [119909 120574] definedon [0 119879) for some 119879 isin (0 +infin]
Since chaotic system has strange attractors there existsa bounded region containing all attractors of it such thatevery orbit of the system never leaves them Hence in view ofLemma 5 the solution of (1) is defined on [0 +infin)
Lemma 6 ((Chain rule) see [29]) If 119881(119909) R119899 rarr R isC-regular and 119909(119905) is absolutely continuous on any compactsubinterval of [0 +infin) Then 119909(119905) and 119881(119909(119905)) [0 +infin) rarrR are differentiable for aa 119905 isin [0 +infin) and

3 Main Results
In this section rigorous mathematical proofs about completesynchronization between systems (9) and (1) under adaptivecontrol are given Remarks are given to specify that underAssumption 1 state feedback control is not applicable
By virtue of the above preparations in order to study thesynchronization issue between (1) and (9) we only need toconsider the same problem of the following systems
(119905) = minus119862119909 (119905) + 119860120574 (119909 (119905)) + 119861120574 (119909 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869 (11)

Let 119890(119905) = (1198901(119905) 1198902(119905) 119890
119899(119905))119879
= 119910(119905) minus 119909(119905) Subtract-ing (11) from (12) yields the following error system
119890 (119905) = minus119862119890 (119905) + 119860120573 (119890 (119905)) + 119861120573 (119890 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119906 (119905) (13)
where 120573(119890(119905)) = 120574(119890(119905) + 119909(119905)) minus 120574(119909(119905))Obviously 119890(119905) = 0 is the equilibrium point of the error
system (13) when 119906(119905) = 0 If system (13) realizes globalasymptotical stability at the origin for any given initial con-dition then the global asymptotical synchronization between(11) and (12) (or (1) and (9)) is achieved
Theorem 9 Suppose that Assumption 1 is satisfied Then theneural networks (1) and (9) can achieve global asymptoticalsynchronization under the following adaptive controller

are usually unknown because the function 120574119894(120585) is uncertain
Hence in this paper for neural networks with discontinuousactivations using state feedback control to synchronize (1)and (8) is not good since the maximum value of control gaincannot be ascertained However adaptive control techniquecan synchronize this class of neural networks as the controlgains increase according to the adaptive lawsThis is themainreason why we choose adaptive control method to study thesynchronization issue of the considered model
Remark 11 Under Assumption 1 complete synchronizationof neural networks with discontinuous activation functionscan be achieved in this paper However based on the growthcondition used in [32 33] authors in [10] only got thequasi-synchronization criteria of systems (1) and (9) by statefeedback control Therefore results of this paper improvecorresponding parts of those in [10]
Remark 12 The synchronization criteria in this paper aresimple and can be easily verified in practice In [27] newconditions on synchronization of linearly coupled dynamicalnetworks with non-Lipschitz right-hand sides were derivedbut the discontinuous functions were weakened to be weak-QUAD and semi-QUAD which means that the discontin-uous function approaches to a continuous function andthe criteria were expressed in integral inequalities Suchsynchronization criteriamay be not easily verified in practiceespecially in the case that there are countable discontinuitiesfor the discontinuous functions Hence results of this paperimprove those in [27]
4 Numerical Examples
In this section we provide two examples to show that ourtheoretical results obtained above are effective Examplealso show that when the discontinuous neural networkshave parameters mismatches synchronization is still realizedunder the discontinuous adaptive control developed in ourprevious works
Example 13 Consider the delayed neural network model (1)with the following parameters 119909(119905) = (119909
1(119905) 1199092(119905))119879 119869 =
(0 0)119879 120579 = 1 119862 is identity matrix of 2-dimension and
119860 = (2 minus01
minus5 45) 119861 = (
minus15 minus01
minus02 minus4) (22)
the activation function is 119891(119909) = (1198911(1199091) 1198912(1199092)) with
119891119894(119909119894) =
tanh (119909119894) + 002radic119909119894 + 003 119909119894 gt 0 119894 = 1 2

119894minus 003 119909
119894lt 0 119894 = 1 2
(23)
Figure 1 shows chaotic-like trajectory of (1) with initialcondition 119909(119905) = (04 minus06)119879 119905 isin [minus1 0]
Obviously 119891119894(V) in this example is monotone increasing
and is discontinuous at V = 0 so the activation function

In the numerical simulations we use the forward Eulermethod which was used in [34] to obtain numerical solutionof differential inclusions The parameters in the simulationsare taken as step-length is 001 119910(119905) = (minus02 11)119879 119897

synchronization error approaches to zero quickly as timegoes and the control gain 119897(119905) turns out to be some constantswhen the synchronization has been realized Numericalsimulations verify the theoretical results perfectly

When there are parameter mismatches between driveand response systems only quasi-synchronization is realizedif state feedback control technique or continuous adaptivecontrol technique is utilized In our previous research asimple but all-powerful discontinuous adaptive control wasdesigned to synchronize chaotic systems with uncertainperturbationsThe following example is given to demonstratethat the discontinuous adaptive control is also applicable tosynchronize neural networks with discontinuous activationsFor more details of the discontinuous adaptive controller see[6 7 15]Themodels used in the following example are takenfrom example in [10]
Example 15 Consider the delayed neural network model (1)with the activation function 119891(119909) = (119891
1(1199091) 1198912(1199092)) as

the other parameters are the same as those in Example 13Welabel system (1) with such activation as (lowast) The chaotic-liketrajectory of system (lowast) can be seen in Figure 4
The response system with parameter mismatches isassumed to be the same as that in [10] which is describedas follows
(119905) = minus (119905) 119909 (119905) + (119905) 119891 (119909 (119905)) + (119905) 119891 (119909 (119905 minus 120579))

networks with discontinuous activations in [19 20] authorsin [21ndash23] studied the global robust stability of delayedneural networks with discontinuous neuron activations in[24 25] authors considered existence and global convergenceof periodic and almost periodic solutions of neural networkswith discontinuous activations
On the other hand although there were many resultsconcerning synchronization of chaotic neural networks fewpublished papers considered the same issue for neural net-works with discontinuous activations and we only found[10 26] The difficulty comes from the discontinuity ofactivations The methods utilized to analyze the stabilityof neural networks with discontinuous activations cannotbe extended to chaos synchronization case directly In [10]authors investigated quasi-synchronization of discontinuousneural networks with and without parameter mismatchesthat is synchronization error can only be controlled to a smallregion around zero but cannot approach to zero Resultsof [10] revealed that complete synchronization is difficult tobe realized due to the discontinuity of activation functionIt is known that one of the most important applications ofchaos synchronization is in secure communication Whenchaos synchronization is applied to secure communicationonly when the drive and response systems achieve completesynchronization can the transmitted signal be fingered outTherefore it is necessary to study complete synchroniza-tion of neural networks with discontinuous activations In[26] complete synchronization of discontinuous neural net-works was investigated via approximation and linear matrixinequality (LMI) approach But we find that through theapproximation approach used in [26] the control gain isuncertain and may be very large which leads to inappli-cablility in practice On the other hand some results onsynchronization and control of discontinuous dynamicalsystems are complex which are difficult to be verified Forinstance synchronization criteria obtained in [27] were interms of integral inequality and the restrict condition onthe discontinuity of discontinuous function was weakenedthat is as time goes to infinity the discontinuous functionapproaches to a continuous function From the above analy-sis investigating the synchronization of neural networks withdiscontinuous activations is really a tough task
Being motivated by the above analysis this paper inves-tigates asymptotic complete synchronization of neural net-works with discontinuous activation functions via adaptivecontrol technique Because of the discontinuity of the acti-vation functions the solution is in the sense of differentialinclusion by the Filippov theory [28] and the complete syn-chronization of this paper means that the state error betweenthe derive (or master) and response systems approaches tozero for almost all (aa) time as time goes to infinity We donot impose the restriction conditions of growth condition onactivation function The discontinuous activations are onlyassumed to be monotone increasing and can be unboundedDue to the mild condition on the discontinuous activationsthe precise control gain is difficult to be determined andthe state feedback control is not so good as the adaptivecontrol technique Under the framework of Filippov solutionby using Lyapunov function and chain rule of differential
inclusion rigorous proofs are given for the asymptotic sta-bility of the error system of the coupled systems Numericalsimulations show the effectiveness of the theoretical resultsMoreover when there are parameter mismatches betweendriver and response neural networks with discontinuous acti-vations numerical example is presented to demonstrate thecomplete synchronization by using discontinuous adaptivecontrol

2 Preliminaries
In this paper we consider the delayed neural network whichis described as follows
(119905) = minus119862119909 (119905) + 119860119891 (119909 (119905)) + 119861119891 (119909 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869 (1)
where 119909(119905) = (1199091(119905) 1199092(119905) 119909
119899(119905)) isin R119899 is the state
vector 119862 = diag(1198881 1198882 119888

and 119861 = (119887119894119895)119899times119899

2(1199092(119905)) 119891
119899(119909119899(119905)))119879 represents the output of
the network 119869 = (1198691 1198692 119869
119899) is the external input vector
As for neural networks (1) we give the following assump-tion condition
Assumption 1 For every 119894 = 1 2 119899 119891119894 R rarr R is
monotone nondecreasing and has at most a finite number ofjump discontinuities in every compact interval
Remark 2 Assumption 1 was used in [20] Any functionsatisfying this assumption condition does not need to becontinuously differentiable in compact interval However thecontinuous differentiability is necessary in [10 26] On theother hand the ldquomonotone nondecreasingrdquo can be replacedby ldquomonotonic functionrdquo For instance if we replace the

matrices 119860 and 119861 in Example 13 (see Section 4 of this paper)with
119860 = (2 01

1198911(1199091) is the same function as that in example and
1198912(1199092) =
minus tanh (1199092) minus 002radic1199092 minus 003 1199092 gt 0

Obviously the 1198911is monotone increasing and the 119891
2is
monotone decreasing but the obtained system and theoriginal system are identical Furthermore the results of thispaper are also applicable to neural networks with continuousmonotone activation functions since continuous function isa special case of discontinuous function
Since119891(119909) is discontinuous at isolate jumping points onecannot define a solution in the conventional senseThereforewe resort to the notion of Filippov solution and stabilityresults on differential inclusion [28] Filippov solution is oneof notions to deal with the discontinuity that determinethe solution on the discontinuous surface with a set-valuedmapping
The Filippov set-valued map of 119891(119909) at 119909 isin R119899 is definedas follows [28]
119865 (119909) = ⋂
120575gt0
⋂
120583(119873)=0
119870[119891 (119861 (119909 120575) 119873)] (4)
where 119870[119864] is the closure of the convex hull of the set 119864119861(119909 120575) = 119910 119910minus119909 le 120575 and 120583(119873) is the Lebesguemeasureof set119873
When 119891(119909) satisfies Assumption 1 it is not difficult to getfrom (4) that
119865 (119909) = 119870 [119891 (119909)]
= (119870 [1198911(1199091)] 119870 [119891
2(1199092)] 119870 [119891
119899(1199091)])
(5)
where119870[119891119894(119909119894)] = [119891
minus
119894(119909119894) 119891+
119894(119909119894)] 119894 = 1 2 119899
Definition 3 (see [19]) A function 119909 [minus120579 119879) rarr R119899119879 isin (0 +infin] is a solution (in the sense of Filippov) of thediscontinuous system (1) on [minus120579 119879) if
(i) 119909 is continuous on [minus120579 119879) and absolutely continuouson [0 119879)
(ii) there exists a measurable function 120574 =

119899)119879
[minus120579 119879) rarr R119899 such that120574(119909(119905)) isin 119870[119891(119909(119905))] for almost all (aa) 119905 isin [minus120579 119879)and (119905) = minus119862119909 (119905) + 119860120574 (119909 (119905)) + 119861120574 (119909 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869
for aa 119905 isin [0 119879) (6)
Note that the measurable function 120574(119909(119905)) is a single-value function which is called the measurable selection of119870[119891(119909(119905))] Any function 120574(119909(119905)) satisfying (6) is called anoutput associated to 119909(119905) In this paper we assume that thetrajectory of the solution 119909(119905) of neural network (1) is chaotic
The next definition is the initial value problem (IVP)associated to system (1)
Definition 4 ((IVP) see [20]) For any continuous function120601 [minus120579 0] rarr R119899 and measurable selection 120595 [minus120579 0] rarrR119899 such that120595(119904) isin 119870[119891(120601(119904))] for aa 119904 isin [minus120579 0] by an initialvalue problem associated to (1) with initial condition (120601 120595)one means the following problem find a couple of functions[119909 120574] [minus120579 119879) rarr R119899 timesR119899 such that 119909 is a solution of (1) on[minus120579 119879) for some 119879 gt 0 120574 is an output associated to 119909 and
(119905) = minus119862119909 (119905) + 119860120574 (119909 (119905)) + 119861120574 (119909 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869

119909 (119904) = 120601 (119904) forall119904 isin [minus120579 0]
120574 (119909 (119904)) = 120595 (119904) for aa 119904 isin [minus120579 0]
(7)
Lemma 5 (see [20]) Suppose that Assumption 1 is satisfiedThen any IVP for (1) has at least a local solution [119909 120574] definedon [0 119879) for some 119879 isin (0 +infin]
Since chaotic system has strange attractors there existsa bounded region containing all attractors of it such thatevery orbit of the system never leaves them Hence in view ofLemma 5 the solution of (1) is defined on [0 +infin)
Lemma 6 ((Chain rule) see [29]) If 119881(119909) R119899 rarr R isC-regular and 119909(119905) is absolutely continuous on any compactsubinterval of [0 +infin) Then 119909(119905) and 119881(119909(119905)) [0 +infin) rarrR are differentiable for aa 119905 isin [0 +infin) and

3 Main Results
In this section rigorous mathematical proofs about completesynchronization between systems (9) and (1) under adaptivecontrol are given Remarks are given to specify that underAssumption 1 state feedback control is not applicable
By virtue of the above preparations in order to study thesynchronization issue between (1) and (9) we only need toconsider the same problem of the following systems
(119905) = minus119862119909 (119905) + 119860120574 (119909 (119905)) + 119861120574 (119909 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869 (11)
(119905) = minus119862119910 (119905) + 119860120574 (119910 (119905)) + 119861120574 (119910 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869 + 119906 (119905)
(12)
Let 119890(119905) = (1198901(119905) 1198902(119905) 119890
119899(119905))119879
= 119910(119905) minus 119909(119905) Subtract-ing (11) from (12) yields the following error system
119890 (119905) = minus119862119890 (119905) + 119860120573 (119890 (119905)) + 119861120573 (119890 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119906 (119905) (13)
where 120573(119890(119905)) = 120574(119890(119905) + 119909(119905)) minus 120574(119909(119905))Obviously 119890(119905) = 0 is the equilibrium point of the error
system (13) when 119906(119905) = 0 If system (13) realizes globalasymptotical stability at the origin for any given initial con-dition then the global asymptotical synchronization between(11) and (12) (or (1) and (9)) is achieved
Theorem 9 Suppose that Assumption 1 is satisfied Then theneural networks (1) and (9) can achieve global asymptoticalsynchronization under the following adaptive controller
119906119894(119905) = minus119897

(14)

are usually unknown because the function 120574119894(120585) is uncertain
Hence in this paper for neural networks with discontinuousactivations using state feedback control to synchronize (1)and (8) is not good since the maximum value of control gaincannot be ascertained However adaptive control techniquecan synchronize this class of neural networks as the controlgains increase according to the adaptive lawsThis is themainreason why we choose adaptive control method to study thesynchronization issue of the considered model
Remark 11 Under Assumption 1 complete synchronizationof neural networks with discontinuous activation functionscan be achieved in this paper However based on the growthcondition used in [32 33] authors in [10] only got thequasi-synchronization criteria of systems (1) and (9) by statefeedback control Therefore results of this paper improvecorresponding parts of those in [10]
Remark 12 The synchronization criteria in this paper aresimple and can be easily verified in practice In [27] newconditions on synchronization of linearly coupled dynamicalnetworks with non-Lipschitz right-hand sides were derivedbut the discontinuous functions were weakened to be weak-QUAD and semi-QUAD which means that the discontin-uous function approaches to a continuous function andthe criteria were expressed in integral inequalities Suchsynchronization criteriamay be not easily verified in practiceespecially in the case that there are countable discontinuitiesfor the discontinuous functions Hence results of this paperimprove those in [27]
4 Numerical Examples
In this section we provide two examples to show that ourtheoretical results obtained above are effective Examplealso show that when the discontinuous neural networkshave parameters mismatches synchronization is still realizedunder the discontinuous adaptive control developed in ourprevious works
Example 13 Consider the delayed neural network model (1)with the following parameters 119909(119905) = (119909
1(119905) 1199092(119905))119879 119869 =
(0 0)119879 120579 = 1 119862 is identity matrix of 2-dimension and
119860 = (2 minus01
minus5 45) 119861 = (
minus15 minus01
minus02 minus4) (22)
the activation function is 119891(119909) = (1198911(1199091) 1198912(1199092)) with
119891119894(119909119894) =
tanh (119909119894) + 002radic119909119894 + 003 119909119894 gt 0 119894 = 1 2

Figure 1 shows chaotic-like trajectory of (1) with initialcondition 119909(119905) = (04 minus06)119879 119905 isin [minus1 0]
Obviously 119891119894(V) in this example is monotone increasing
and is discontinuous at V = 0 so the activation function

In the numerical simulations we use the forward Eulermethod which was used in [34] to obtain numerical solutionof differential inclusions The parameters in the simulationsare taken as step-length is 001 119910(119905) = (minus02 11)119879 119897

synchronization error approaches to zero quickly as timegoes and the control gain 119897(119905) turns out to be some constantswhen the synchronization has been realized Numericalsimulations verify the theoretical results perfectly

When there are parameter mismatches between driveand response systems only quasi-synchronization is realizedif state feedback control technique or continuous adaptivecontrol technique is utilized In our previous research asimple but all-powerful discontinuous adaptive control wasdesigned to synchronize chaotic systems with uncertainperturbationsThe following example is given to demonstratethat the discontinuous adaptive control is also applicable tosynchronize neural networks with discontinuous activationsFor more details of the discontinuous adaptive controller see[6 7 15]Themodels used in the following example are takenfrom example in [10]
Example 15 Consider the delayed neural network model (1)with the activation function 119891(119909) = (119891
1(1199091) 1198912(1199092)) as

the other parameters are the same as those in Example 13Welabel system (1) with such activation as (lowast) The chaotic-liketrajectory of system (lowast) can be seen in Figure 4
The response system with parameter mismatches isassumed to be the same as that in [10] which is describedas follows
(119905) = minus (119905) 119909 (119905) + (119905) 119891 (119909 (119905)) + (119905) 119891 (119909 (119905 minus 120579))

Obviously the 1198911is monotone increasing and the 119891
2is
monotone decreasing but the obtained system and theoriginal system are identical Furthermore the results of thispaper are also applicable to neural networks with continuousmonotone activation functions since continuous function isa special case of discontinuous function
Since119891(119909) is discontinuous at isolate jumping points onecannot define a solution in the conventional senseThereforewe resort to the notion of Filippov solution and stabilityresults on differential inclusion [28] Filippov solution is oneof notions to deal with the discontinuity that determinethe solution on the discontinuous surface with a set-valuedmapping
The Filippov set-valued map of 119891(119909) at 119909 isin R119899 is definedas follows [28]
119865 (119909) = ⋂
120575gt0
⋂
120583(119873)=0
119870[119891 (119861 (119909 120575) 119873)] (4)
where 119870[119864] is the closure of the convex hull of the set 119864119861(119909 120575) = 119910 119910minus119909 le 120575 and 120583(119873) is the Lebesguemeasureof set119873
When 119891(119909) satisfies Assumption 1 it is not difficult to getfrom (4) that
119865 (119909) = 119870 [119891 (119909)]
= (119870 [1198911(1199091)] 119870 [119891
2(1199092)] 119870 [119891
119899(1199091)])

Definition 3 (see [19]) A function 119909 [minus120579 119879) rarr R119899119879 isin (0 +infin] is a solution (in the sense of Filippov) of thediscontinuous system (1) on [minus120579 119879) if
(i) 119909 is continuous on [minus120579 119879) and absolutely continuouson [0 119879)
(ii) there exists a measurable function 120574 =

[minus120579 119879) rarr R119899 such that120574(119909(119905)) isin 119870[119891(119909(119905))] for almost all (aa) 119905 isin [minus120579 119879)and (119905) = minus119862119909 (119905) + 119860120574 (119909 (119905)) + 119861120574 (119909 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869
for aa 119905 isin [0 119879) (6)
Note that the measurable function 120574(119909(119905)) is a single-value function which is called the measurable selection of119870[119891(119909(119905))] Any function 120574(119909(119905)) satisfying (6) is called anoutput associated to 119909(119905) In this paper we assume that thetrajectory of the solution 119909(119905) of neural network (1) is chaotic
The next definition is the initial value problem (IVP)associated to system (1)
Definition 4 ((IVP) see [20]) For any continuous function120601 [minus120579 0] rarr R119899 and measurable selection 120595 [minus120579 0] rarrR119899 such that120595(119904) isin 119870[119891(120601(119904))] for aa 119904 isin [minus120579 0] by an initialvalue problem associated to (1) with initial condition (120601 120595)one means the following problem find a couple of functions[119909 120574] [minus120579 119879) rarr R119899 timesR119899 such that 119909 is a solution of (1) on[minus120579 119879) for some 119879 gt 0 120574 is an output associated to 119909 and
(119905) = minus119862119909 (119905) + 119860120574 (119909 (119905)) + 119861120574 (119909 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869

120574 (119909 (119905)) isin 119870 [119891 (119909 (119905))] for aa 119905 isin [0 119879)

120574 (119909 (119904)) = 120595 (119904) for aa 119904 isin [minus120579 0]
(7)
Lemma 5 (see [20]) Suppose that Assumption 1 is satisfiedThen any IVP for (1) has at least a local solution [119909 120574] definedon [0 119879) for some 119879 isin (0 +infin]
Since chaotic system has strange attractors there existsa bounded region containing all attractors of it such thatevery orbit of the system never leaves them Hence in view ofLemma 5 the solution of (1) is defined on [0 +infin)
Lemma 6 ((Chain rule) see [29]) If 119881(119909) R119899 rarr R isC-regular and 119909(119905) is absolutely continuous on any compactsubinterval of [0 +infin) Then 119909(119905) and 119881(119909(119905)) [0 +infin) rarrR are differentiable for aa 119905 isin [0 +infin) and

3 Main Results
In this section rigorous mathematical proofs about completesynchronization between systems (9) and (1) under adaptivecontrol are given Remarks are given to specify that underAssumption 1 state feedback control is not applicable
By virtue of the above preparations in order to study thesynchronization issue between (1) and (9) we only need toconsider the same problem of the following systems
(119905) = minus119862119909 (119905) + 119860120574 (119909 (119905)) + 119861120574 (119909 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869 (11)
(119905) = minus119862119910 (119905) + 119860120574 (119910 (119905)) + 119861120574 (119910 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869 + 119906 (119905)
(12)
Let 119890(119905) = (1198901(119905) 1198902(119905) 119890
119899(119905))119879
= 119910(119905) minus 119909(119905) Subtract-ing (11) from (12) yields the following error system
119890 (119905) = minus119862119890 (119905) + 119860120573 (119890 (119905)) + 119861120573 (119890 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119906 (119905) (13)
where 120573(119890(119905)) = 120574(119890(119905) + 119909(119905)) minus 120574(119909(119905))Obviously 119890(119905) = 0 is the equilibrium point of the error
system (13) when 119906(119905) = 0 If system (13) realizes globalasymptotical stability at the origin for any given initial con-dition then the global asymptotical synchronization between(11) and (12) (or (1) and (9)) is achieved
Theorem 9 Suppose that Assumption 1 is satisfied Then theneural networks (1) and (9) can achieve global asymptoticalsynchronization under the following adaptive controller
119906119894(119905) = minus119897

(14)
where 120576119894gt 0 is an arbitrary positive constant
Proof Since 119891(119909) satisfies Assumption 1 120574(119909) is a single-valued measurable function satisfying 120574(119909) isin 119870[119891(119909)]Therefore 120574
119894(120585) (119894 = 1 2 119899) are monotone increasing and
measurable functions on R In view of Lemma 7 120574119894(120585) is

are usually unknown because the function 120574119894(120585) is uncertain
Hence in this paper for neural networks with discontinuousactivations using state feedback control to synchronize (1)and (8) is not good since the maximum value of control gaincannot be ascertained However adaptive control techniquecan synchronize this class of neural networks as the controlgains increase according to the adaptive lawsThis is themainreason why we choose adaptive control method to study thesynchronization issue of the considered model
Remark 11 Under Assumption 1 complete synchronizationof neural networks with discontinuous activation functionscan be achieved in this paper However based on the growthcondition used in [32 33] authors in [10] only got thequasi-synchronization criteria of systems (1) and (9) by statefeedback control Therefore results of this paper improvecorresponding parts of those in [10]
Remark 12 The synchronization criteria in this paper aresimple and can be easily verified in practice In [27] newconditions on synchronization of linearly coupled dynamicalnetworks with non-Lipschitz right-hand sides were derivedbut the discontinuous functions were weakened to be weak-QUAD and semi-QUAD which means that the discontin-uous function approaches to a continuous function andthe criteria were expressed in integral inequalities Suchsynchronization criteriamay be not easily verified in practiceespecially in the case that there are countable discontinuitiesfor the discontinuous functions Hence results of this paperimprove those in [27]
4 Numerical Examples
In this section we provide two examples to show that ourtheoretical results obtained above are effective Examplealso show that when the discontinuous neural networkshave parameters mismatches synchronization is still realizedunder the discontinuous adaptive control developed in ourprevious works
Example 13 Consider the delayed neural network model (1)with the following parameters 119909(119905) = (119909
1(119905) 1199092(119905))119879 119869 =
(0 0)119879 120579 = 1 119862 is identity matrix of 2-dimension and
119860 = (2 minus01
minus5 45) 119861 = (
minus15 minus01
minus02 minus4) (22)
the activation function is 119891(119909) = (1198911(1199091) 1198912(1199092)) with
119891119894(119909119894) =
tanh (119909119894) + 002radic119909119894 + 003 119909119894 gt 0 119894 = 1 2

119894minus 003 119909
119894lt 0 119894 = 1 2
(23)
Figure 1 shows chaotic-like trajectory of (1) with initialcondition 119909(119905) = (04 minus06)119879 119905 isin [minus1 0]
Obviously 119891119894(V) in this example is monotone increasing
and is discontinuous at V = 0 so the activation function

In the numerical simulations we use the forward Eulermethod which was used in [34] to obtain numerical solutionof differential inclusions The parameters in the simulationsare taken as step-length is 001 119910(119905) = (minus02 11)119879 119897

synchronization error approaches to zero quickly as timegoes and the control gain 119897(119905) turns out to be some constantswhen the synchronization has been realized Numericalsimulations verify the theoretical results perfectly

When there are parameter mismatches between driveand response systems only quasi-synchronization is realizedif state feedback control technique or continuous adaptivecontrol technique is utilized In our previous research asimple but all-powerful discontinuous adaptive control wasdesigned to synchronize chaotic systems with uncertainperturbationsThe following example is given to demonstratethat the discontinuous adaptive control is also applicable tosynchronize neural networks with discontinuous activationsFor more details of the discontinuous adaptive controller see[6 7 15]Themodels used in the following example are takenfrom example in [10]
Example 15 Consider the delayed neural network model (1)with the activation function 119891(119909) = (119891
1(1199091) 1198912(1199092)) as

the other parameters are the same as those in Example 13Welabel system (1) with such activation as (lowast) The chaotic-liketrajectory of system (lowast) can be seen in Figure 4
The response system with parameter mismatches isassumed to be the same as that in [10] which is describedas follows
(119905) = minus (119905) 119909 (119905) + (119905) 119891 (119909 (119905)) + (119905) 119891 (119909 (119905 minus 120579))

3 Main Results
In this section rigorous mathematical proofs about completesynchronization between systems (9) and (1) under adaptivecontrol are given Remarks are given to specify that underAssumption 1 state feedback control is not applicable
By virtue of the above preparations in order to study thesynchronization issue between (1) and (9) we only need toconsider the same problem of the following systems
(119905) = minus119862119909 (119905) + 119860120574 (119909 (119905)) + 119861120574 (119909 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869 (11)
(119905) = minus119862119910 (119905) + 119860120574 (119910 (119905)) + 119861120574 (119910 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119869 + 119906 (119905)
(12)
Let 119890(119905) = (1198901(119905) 1198902(119905) 119890
119899(119905))119879
= 119910(119905) minus 119909(119905) Subtract-ing (11) from (12) yields the following error system
119890 (119905) = minus119862119890 (119905) + 119860120573 (119890 (119905)) + 119861120573 (119890 (119905 minus 120579)) + 119906 (119905) (13)
where 120573(119890(119905)) = 120574(119890(119905) + 119909(119905)) minus 120574(119909(119905))Obviously 119890(119905) = 0 is the equilibrium point of the error
system (13) when 119906(119905) = 0 If system (13) realizes globalasymptotical stability at the origin for any given initial con-dition then the global asymptotical synchronization between(11) and (12) (or (1) and (9)) is achieved
Theorem 9 Suppose that Assumption 1 is satisfied Then theneural networks (1) and (9) can achieve global asymptoticalsynchronization under the following adaptive controller
119906119894(119905) = minus119897

(14)
where 120576119894gt 0 is an arbitrary positive constant
Proof Since 119891(119909) satisfies Assumption 1 120574(119909) is a single-valued measurable function satisfying 120574(119909) isin 119870[119891(119909)]Therefore 120574
119894(120585) (119894 = 1 2 119899) are monotone increasing and
measurable functions on R In view of Lemma 7 120574119894(120585) is

Take 120583 = (12)119898119861 Then one derives from (18) that

Therefore for aa 119905 isin [0 +infin) we have

119890 (119905) = 0 (21)
According to Definition 8 the neural networks (1) and (9)achieve global asymptotical synchronizationMoreover from(16) 119897

119894 119894 = 1 2 119899 these 119898

are usually unknown because the function 120574119894(120585) is uncertain
Hence in this paper for neural networks with discontinuousactivations using state feedback control to synchronize (1)and (8) is not good since the maximum value of control gaincannot be ascertained However adaptive control techniquecan synchronize this class of neural networks as the controlgains increase according to the adaptive lawsThis is themainreason why we choose adaptive control method to study thesynchronization issue of the considered model
Remark 11 Under Assumption 1 complete synchronizationof neural networks with discontinuous activation functionscan be achieved in this paper However based on the growthcondition used in [32 33] authors in [10] only got thequasi-synchronization criteria of systems (1) and (9) by statefeedback control Therefore results of this paper improvecorresponding parts of those in [10]
Remark 12 The synchronization criteria in this paper aresimple and can be easily verified in practice In [27] newconditions on synchronization of linearly coupled dynamicalnetworks with non-Lipschitz right-hand sides were derivedbut the discontinuous functions were weakened to be weak-QUAD and semi-QUAD which means that the discontin-uous function approaches to a continuous function andthe criteria were expressed in integral inequalities Suchsynchronization criteriamay be not easily verified in practiceespecially in the case that there are countable discontinuitiesfor the discontinuous functions Hence results of this paperimprove those in [27]
4 Numerical Examples
In this section we provide two examples to show that ourtheoretical results obtained above are effective Examplealso show that when the discontinuous neural networkshave parameters mismatches synchronization is still realizedunder the discontinuous adaptive control developed in ourprevious works
Example 13 Consider the delayed neural network model (1)with the following parameters 119909(119905) = (119909
1(119905) 1199092(119905))119879 119869 =
(0 0)119879 120579 = 1 119862 is identity matrix of 2-dimension and
119860 = (2 minus01
minus5 45) 119861 = (
minus15 minus01
minus02 minus4) (22)
the activation function is 119891(119909) = (1198911(1199091) 1198912(1199092)) with
119891119894(119909119894) =
tanh (119909119894) + 002radic119909119894 + 003 119909119894 gt 0 119894 = 1 2

119894minus 003 119909
119894lt 0 119894 = 1 2
(23)
Figure 1 shows chaotic-like trajectory of (1) with initialcondition 119909(119905) = (04 minus06)119879 119905 isin [minus1 0]
Obviously 119891119894(V) in this example is monotone increasing
and is discontinuous at V = 0 so the activation function

In the numerical simulations we use the forward Eulermethod which was used in [34] to obtain numerical solutionof differential inclusions The parameters in the simulationsare taken as step-length is 001 119910(119905) = (minus02 11)119879 119897

results shown in Figures 2 and 3 Figure 2 describes thetrajectories of the error states Figure 3 represents the timeresponse of 119897(119905) = (119897
1(119905) 1198972(119905))119879 Figures 2 and 3 show that
synchronization error approaches to zero quickly as timegoes and the control gain 119897(119905) turns out to be some constantswhen the synchronization has been realized Numericalsimulations verify the theoretical results perfectly

When there are parameter mismatches between driveand response systems only quasi-synchronization is realizedif state feedback control technique or continuous adaptivecontrol technique is utilized In our previous research asimple but all-powerful discontinuous adaptive control wasdesigned to synchronize chaotic systems with uncertainperturbationsThe following example is given to demonstratethat the discontinuous adaptive control is also applicable tosynchronize neural networks with discontinuous activationsFor more details of the discontinuous adaptive controller see[6 7 15]Themodels used in the following example are takenfrom example in [10]

are usually unknown because the function 120574119894(120585) is uncertain
Hence in this paper for neural networks with discontinuousactivations using state feedback control to synchronize (1)and (8) is not good since the maximum value of control gaincannot be ascertained However adaptive control techniquecan synchronize this class of neural networks as the controlgains increase according to the adaptive lawsThis is themainreason why we choose adaptive control method to study thesynchronization issue of the considered model
Remark 11 Under Assumption 1 complete synchronizationof neural networks with discontinuous activation functionscan be achieved in this paper However based on the growthcondition used in [32 33] authors in [10] only got thequasi-synchronization criteria of systems (1) and (9) by statefeedback control Therefore results of this paper improvecorresponding parts of those in [10]
Remark 12 The synchronization criteria in this paper aresimple and can be easily verified in practice In [27] newconditions on synchronization of linearly coupled dynamicalnetworks with non-Lipschitz right-hand sides were derivedbut the discontinuous functions were weakened to be weak-QUAD and semi-QUAD which means that the discontin-uous function approaches to a continuous function andthe criteria were expressed in integral inequalities Suchsynchronization criteriamay be not easily verified in practiceespecially in the case that there are countable discontinuitiesfor the discontinuous functions Hence results of this paperimprove those in [27]
4 Numerical Examples
In this section we provide two examples to show that ourtheoretical results obtained above are effective Examplealso show that when the discontinuous neural networkshave parameters mismatches synchronization is still realizedunder the discontinuous adaptive control developed in ourprevious works
Example 13 Consider the delayed neural network model (1)with the following parameters 119909(119905) = (119909
1(119905) 1199092(119905))119879 119869 =

119860 = (2 minus01
minus5 45) 119861 = (
minus15 minus01
minus02 minus4) (22)
the activation function is 119891(119909) = (1198911(1199091) 1198912(1199092)) with
119891119894(119909119894) =
tanh (119909119894) + 002radic119909119894 + 003 119909119894 gt 0 119894 = 1 2

Figure 1 shows chaotic-like trajectory of (1) with initialcondition 119909(119905) = (04 minus06)119879 119905 isin [minus1 0]
Obviously 119891119894(V) in this example is monotone increasing
and is discontinuous at V = 0 so the activation function

satisfies Assumption 1 It follows fromTheorem 9 that system(9) can synchronize the driver system (1) under the adaptivecontroller (14)
In the numerical simulations we use the forward Eulermethod which was used in [34] to obtain numerical solutionof differential inclusions The parameters in the simulationsare taken as step-length is 001 119910(119905) = (minus02 11)119879 119897

synchronization error approaches to zero quickly as timegoes and the control gain 119897(119905) turns out to be some constantswhen the synchronization has been realized Numericalsimulations verify the theoretical results perfectly

Remark 14 In Example 13 the activation function119891(119909) is notgeneralized differentiable at 119909 = 0 nor is global LipschitzHowever these two conditions are necessary in [26] Hencethis example demonstrates that results of this paper improvecorresponding results in [26]
When there are parameter mismatches between driveand response systems only quasi-synchronization is realizedif state feedback control technique or continuous adaptivecontrol technique is utilized In our previous research asimple but all-powerful discontinuous adaptive control wasdesigned to synchronize chaotic systems with uncertainperturbationsThe following example is given to demonstratethat the discontinuous adaptive control is also applicable tosynchronize neural networks with discontinuous activationsFor more details of the discontinuous adaptive controller see[6 7 15]Themodels used in the following example are takenfrom example in [10]
Example 15 Consider the delayed neural network model (1)with the activation function 119891(119909) = (119891
1(1199091) 1198912(1199092)) as
119891119894(119909119894) =

(24)
the other parameters are the same as those in Example 13Welabel system (1) with such activation as (lowast) The chaotic-liketrajectory of system (lowast) can be seen in Figure 4
The response system with parameter mismatches isassumed to be the same as that in [10] which is describedas follows
(119905) = minus (119905) 119909 (119905) + (119905) 119891 (119909 (119905)) + (119905) 119891 (119909 (119905 minus 120579))

Remark 14 In Example 13 the activation function119891(119909) is notgeneralized differentiable at 119909 = 0 nor is global LipschitzHowever these two conditions are necessary in [26] Hencethis example demonstrates that results of this paper improvecorresponding results in [26]
When there are parameter mismatches between driveand response systems only quasi-synchronization is realizedif state feedback control technique or continuous adaptivecontrol technique is utilized In our previous research asimple but all-powerful discontinuous adaptive control wasdesigned to synchronize chaotic systems with uncertainperturbationsThe following example is given to demonstratethat the discontinuous adaptive control is also applicable tosynchronize neural networks with discontinuous activationsFor more details of the discontinuous adaptive controller see[6 7 15]Themodels used in the following example are takenfrom example in [10]
Example 15 Consider the delayed neural network model (1)with the activation function 119891(119909) = (119891
1(1199091) 1198912(1199092)) as
119891119894(119909119894) =
tanh (119909119894) + 0025119909

(24)
the other parameters are the same as those in Example 13Welabel system (1) with such activation as (lowast) The chaotic-liketrajectory of system (lowast) can be seen in Figure 4
The response system with parameter mismatches isassumed to be the same as that in [10] which is describedas follows
(119905) = minus (119905) 119909 (119905) + (119905) 119891 (119909 (119905)) + (119905) 119891 (119909 (119905 minus 120579))

5 Conclusions
In this paper newdefinition of synchronization for discontin-uous dynamical systems is proposed Under this definitionsynchronization of delayed neural networks with discontin-uous activation functions via adaptive control is studied Thediscontinuous activations in the neural networks are assumedto be monotone increasing and can be unbounded By utiliz-ing the framework of Filippov solution Lyapunov function
