Projective Multi-Synchronization of Fractional-order Complex-valued Coupled Multi-stable Neural Networks with Impulsive Control

In this paper, we study a projective multi-synchronization problem for fractional-order complex-valued coupled multi-stable neural networks (FCVCMNNs) with time-delays. Using a complex decomposition approach, FCVCMNNs are divided into their real and imaginary components. Our method uses certain conditions for each subnetwork to achieve the multiple local equilibrium points or stable periodic orbits that are exponentially stable, which, when combined with the Lyapunov functions method, result in FCVCMNNs that are projectively multi-synchronized. The FCVCMNNs, on the other hand, are examined directly through the use of the Lyapunov functional method and linear matrix inequality (LMI). Various new sufficient conditions in the form of complex-valued LMIs are presented for the projective multi-synchronization of the considered FCVCMNNs. As a final step, we provide two numerical simulations to verify the effectiveness of the main results derived in this paper.
