Weak, modified and function projective synchronization of chaotic memristive neural networks with time delays☆
Introduction
Memristor, the fourth basic circuital element along with resistor, inductor and capacitor, was first theoretically predicted by Chua in 1971 [1] (Fig. 1 [2]). In late 2008, an actual physical memristor was realized as a nanocomponent in Hewlett–Packard Laboratory [2]. This new passive electronic device has attracted unprecedented worldwide attention because of its potential applications in various fields, from new high-speed low-power processors [3], filters [4] to new biological models for associative memory [5], learning models of simple organisms [6], and in particular chaotic circuit [7], [8], [9], to which memristor has been introduced as new technology process nodes.
Recently, memristive neural networks (MNNs) have been designed based on primitive network by replacing resistors with memristors. Pershin and Di Ventra constructed a simple MNN composed of three electronic neurons connected by two memristor emulator synapses [5], it demonstrated the formation of the associative memory in this network. In [10], Itoh and Chua designed a memristic cellular automaton and discrete-time cellular neural network, which acts in quite a few applications, such as logical operations, image processing operations, complex behaviors, higher brain functions, and RSA algorithm. More recently, the nonlinear dynamics of MNNs with time delays have also been investigated in [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19].
We note that a detailed analytical study of synchronization or anti-synchronization control of the neural network is necessary. Synchronization, which means the dynamical behaviors of coupled systems achieve spatial state at the same time, has been applied in secure communication, biology systems, linguistic networks, and information processing. As we know, synchronization exists in various types, such as complete synchronization [20], anti-synchronization [21], lag synchronization [22], generalized synchronization [23], projective synchronization [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], phase synchronization [29] and so on. In [31], Wen et al. considered the adaptive synchronization of memristor-based Chua׳s circuits and designed an adaptive controller to achieve the synchronization goal. Wu et al. investigated the exponential synchronization of memristor-based recurrent neural networks with time delays in [30], [32]. It should be pointed out that (1) in [30], [31], [32], the following assumptionwas used in the proof of the main results. It can be easily checked that this assumption holds only when and have different signs, or or , where co(Q) denotes the closure of the convex hull of Q. (2) The results in [30], [31], [32] are independent of the neuron state switching jumps . From the view of mathematics, the results obtained in these works are meaningless to the theory research and application.
In this paper, we treat the weak, modified and function projective synchronization issue of chaotic MNNs with time delays. The main novelty of our contribution lies in three aspects: (1) a novel state-feedback controller is designed, and a condition is presented to achieve weak projective synchronization with an error level; (2) an adaptive controller is proposed to achieve function projective synchronization. As a special case, an adaptive modified projective synchronization condition is also developed; (3) the assumption (1) is abandoned in this paper. More precisely, all the conclusions are related to the state switching jumps .
The framework of this paper is organized as follows: In Section 2, the mathematics models of memristor and chaotic MNNs are described, and some preliminaries are introduced. In Section 3, a general scheme of weak projective synchronization for chaotic MNNs is presented. The adaptive modified and function projective synchronization are discussed in Section 4. In Section 5, a numerical example is presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed results. Section 6 is the conclusions of this paper.

Mathematics model of memristor
In the TiO2 memristor, as shown in Fig. 2, a thin undoped titanium dioxide (TiO2) layer and a thin oxygen-deficient doped titanium dioxide (TiO2−x) layer are sandwiched between two platinum electrodes. When a voltage (or current) is applied to the device, the width of the TiO2 and TiO2−x layer changes as a function of the applied voltage (or current). As a result, the resistance between the two electrodes is altered.
Let D and ω denote the thickness of the sandwiched area and the doped area

Conclusion
In this paper, the weak, modified and function projective synchronization for chaotic MNNs with time delays have been investigated. By applying the generalized Halanay inequality, a weak projective synchronization scheme has been proposed to ensure that the chaotic MNNs can achieve weak projective synchronization with an error level under the designed state-feedback controller. The new adaptive controllers have been developed, and unknown control parameters have also been determined by adaptive
