Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel sliding mode control technique for synchronization transmission of information in a small-world neuronal network with uncertainty. First, we introduce the structure of small-world neuronal network. Then, we modified the sliding mode control technique to make it suitable for network synchronization. The control input of the small-world neuronal network and the adaptive law of the uncertain configuration coefficient can be effectively determined by using this modified technique. Finally, we compare our analytic results with numerical simulations through a few examples.
