In this paper, based on the invariant principle of functional differential equations, a simple, analytical, and rigorous adaptive feedback scheme is proposed for the synchronization of almost all kinds of coupled identical neural networks with time-varying delay, which can be chaotic, periodic, etc. We do not assume that the concrete values of the connection weight matrix and the delayed connection weight matrix are known. We show that two coupled identical neural networks with or without time-varying delay can achieve synchronization by enhancing the coupling strength dynamically. The update gain of coupling strength can be properly chosen to adjust the speed of achieving synchronization. Also, it is quite robust against the effect of noise and simple to implement in practice. In addition, numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization method.

The obtained criterion is given in terms of an algebraic inequality which is easy to be verified, and hence our result is valid for largescale systems. The results extend and improve upon earlier work. As a numerical example, a small-world network composing of impulsive coupled chaotic delayed NN nodes is given to illustrate our theoretical result.
Exponential Synchronization of Linearly Coupled Neural Networks with Impulsive Disturbances
We study the consensus problem in directed static networks with arbitrary finite communication delays and consider both linear and nonlinear coupling. For the considered networked system, only locally delayed information is available for each node and also the information flow is directed. We find that consensus can be realized whatever the communications delays are. In fact, we do not even need to know the explicit values of the communication delays. One well-informed leader is proved to be enough for the regulation of all nodes' final states, even when the external signal is very weak. Numerical simulations for opinion formation in small-world and scale-free networks are given to demonstrate the potentials of our analytic results.
This paper studies the adaptive complete synchronization of chaotic and hyperchaotic systems with fully unknown parameters. In practical situations, some systems' parameters cannot be exactly known a priori, and the uncertainties often affect the stability of the process of synchronization of the chaotic oscillators. An adaptive scheme is proposed to compensate for the effects of parameters' uncertainty based on the structure of chaotic systems in this paper. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, an adaptive controller and a parameters update law can be designed for the synchronization of chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. The drive and response systems can be nonidentical, even with different order. Three illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the validity of this technique, and numerical simulations are also given to show the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization method. In addition, this synchronization scheme is quite robust against the effect of noise.
