Narrow Results

This paper investigates the passivity of memristive bidirectional associate memory neural networks (MBAMNNs) with leakage and additive time-varying delays. Based on some useful inequalities and appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals (LKFs), several delay-dependent conditions for passivity performance are obtained in linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Moreover, the leakage delays as well as additive delays are considered separately. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the theoretical results.

Although the passivity of integer-order systems has been extensively analyzed, the research outcomes on the passivity of fractional-order nonlinear systems (FONSs) are scarce. This paper presents some theoretical results on passivity and passivation of FONSs. Based on the definition of the passivity of FONSs, and by using the Lyapunov stability theory and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) method, some conditions are derived to assure the FONSs is passive, which enrich the existing theoretical knowledge about the passivity of FONSs. Moreover, an observer-based output passive control is established to ensure that the corresponding closed-loop system is passive by means of LMI technique and matrix singular value decomposition (SVD). Ultimately, the practicality of our yielded results is revealed by two numerical simulations.
