Event-Triggered State Estimation for Fractional-Order Neural Networks

This paper is concerned with the problem of event-triggered state estimation for a class of fractional-order neural networks. An event-triggering strategy is proposed to reduce the transmission frequency of the output measurement signals with guaranteed state estimation performance requirements. Based on the Lyapunov method and properties of fractional-order calculus, a sufficient criterion is established for deriving the Mittag-Leffler stability of the estimation error system. By making full use of the properties of Caputo operator and Mittag-Leffler function, the evolution dynamics of measured error is analyzed so as to exclude the unexpected Zeno phenomenon in the event-triggering strategy. Finally, two numerical examples and simulations are provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
