Observer-based resilient dissipativity control for discrete-time memristor-based neural networks with unbounded or bounded time-varying delays

This work focuses on the issue of observer-based resilient dissipativity control of discrete-time memristor-based neural networks (DTMBNNs) with unbounded or bounded time-varying delays. Firstly, the Luenberger observer is designed, and additionally based on the observed states, the observer-based resilient controller is proposed. An augmented system is presented by considering both the error system and the DTMBNNs with the controller. Secondly, a novel sufficient extended exponential dissipativity condition is obtained for the augmented system with unbounded time-varying delays by proposing a system solutions-based estimation approach. This method is based on system solutions and without constructing any Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals (LKF), thereby reducing the complexity of theoretical derivation and computational workload. In addition, an algorithm is proposed to solve the nonlinear inequalities in the sufficient condition. Thirdly, the sufficient extended exponential dissipativity condition for the augmented system with bounded time-varying delays is also obtained. Finally, the effectiveness of the theoretical results is illustrated through two simulation examples.
