Chapter 1. Hybrid Intelligent Networks
Abstract
In this chapter, a broad but self-contained overview of the terminology of hybrid intelligent network is provided. Section 1.1 first presents a typical hybrid intelligent network, the human brain. It is the brain science and brain-inspired intelligence that motivate the study of hybrid intelligent networks in this book. Section 1.2 generally introduces nonlinear phenomena in nature and engineering, and the hybrid nonlinearity and hybrid intelligence are highlighted. The hybrid intelligent network models are discussed in Sect. 1.3, including hybrid dynamical systems, complex networks, and artificial neural networks. Section 1.4 proposes the basic concepts and methodologies in the field of hybrid intelligent networks that are widely used in for the subsequent chapters. Section 1.5 sketches the overall organization of the book where each chapter is briefly summarized for an overview of the book. Section 1.6 concludes the chapter.

Chapter 2. Delayed Hybrid Impulsive Neural Networks
Abstract
This chapter first introduces the continuous-time Hopfield neural networks. The existence and uniqueness of equilibrium, as well as its stability and instability, of continuous-time Hopfield networks are analyzed, and less conservative yet more general results are established. Then, in light of the continuous-time architecture of Hopfield networks, the impulsive Hopfield neural networks with transmission delays are formulated and explained. Many evolutionary processes, particularly biological systems, that exhibit impulsive dynamical behaviors, can be described by the impulsive Hopfield neural networks. Fundamental issues such as the global exponential stability, the existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium of such impulsive Hopfield networks are established. A numerical example is given for illustration and interpretation of the theoretical results.

Chapter 3. Hybrid Impulsive Neural Networks with Interval-Uncertain Weights
Abstract
Neural networks have emerged as a powerful illustrative diagram for the brain. Unveiling the mechanism of neural-dynamic evolution is one of the crucial steps toward understanding how the brain works and evolves. Inspired by the universal existence of impulses in many real systems, this chapter introduces a class of hybrid neural networks with impulses, time-delays and interval uncertainties, and studies its global dynamic evolution by robust interval analysis. The hybrid neural networks incorporate both continuous-time implementation and impulsive jump in mutual activations, where time-delays and interval uncertainties are represented simultaneously. By constructing a Banach contraction mapping, the existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium of the hybrid neural network model are proved and analyzed in detail. Based on nonsmooth Lyapunov functions and delayed impulsive differential equations, new criteria are derived for ensuring the global robust exponential stability of the hybrid neural networks. Convergence analysis together with illustrative examples show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Chapter 4. Multistability of Delayed Hybrid Impulsive Neural Networks
Abstract
The important topic of multistability of continuous- and discrete-time neural network models has been investigated rather extensively. Concerning the design of associative memories, this chapter introduces the multistability of delayed hybrid impulsive neural networks and lays emphasis on the impulse effect. Arising from the spikes in biological networks, impulsive neural networks provide an efficient model for synaptic interconnections among neurons. Using state-space decomposition, the coexistence of multiple equilibria of hybrid impulsive neural networks is analyzed. Multistability criteria are then established regrading delayed hybrid impulsive neurodynamics, for which both the impulse effect on convergence rate and the basin of attraction of equilibria are discussed. Illustrative examples are given to verify the theoretical results and demonstrate an application to the design of associative memories. It is shown by an experimental example that delayed hybrid impulsive neural networks have the advantages of high storage capacity and high fault tolerance when used for associative memories.

Chapter 5. Impulsive Neural Networks Towards Image Protection
Abstract
Inspired by security applications in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), this chapter focuses on the usage of impulsive neural network synchronization technique for intelligent image protection against illegal swiping and abuse. A class of nonlinear interconnected neural networks with transmission delay and random impulse effect is first introduced. In order to make network protocols more flexible, a randomized broadcast impulsive coupling scheme is integrated into the protocol design. Impulsive synchronization criteria are then derived for the chaotic neural networks in presence of nonlinear protocol and random broadcast impulse, with the impulse effect discussed. Illustrative examples are provided to verify the developed impulsive synchronization results and to show its potential application in image encryption and decryption.

Chapter 6. Hybrid Memristor-Based Impulsive Neural Networks
Abstract
This chapter introduces a class of heterogeneous delayed impulsive neural networks with memristors and focuses on their collective evolution for multisynchronization. The multisynchronization represents a diversified collective behavior that is inspired by multitasking as well as observations of heterogeneity and hybridity arising from system models. In view of memristor, the memristor-based impulsive neural network is first represented by an impulsive differential inclusion. According to the memristive and impulsive mechanism, a fuzzy logic rule is introduced, and then a new fuzzy hybrid impulsive and switching control method is presented correspondingly. It is shown that using the proposed fuzzy hybrid control scheme, multisynchronization of interconnected memristor-based impulsive neural networks can be guaranteed with a positive exponential convergence rate. The heterogeneity and hybridity in system models thus can be indicated by the obtained error thresholds that contribute to the multisynchronization. Numerical examples are presented and compared to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed theoretical results.

Chapter 7. Hybrid Impulsive and Switching Control and Its Application to Nonlinear Systems
Abstract
Hybrid control systems have shown strong evidence in both nature and engineering. Before the investigation of hybrid multi-agent networks, this chapter reviews the hybrid impulsive and switching control methods and their application to nonlinear systems. This chapter produces basic rules for designing hybrid impulsive and switching control that would be useful for the subsequent chapters.

Chapter 8. Hybrid Communication and Control in Multi-Agent Networks
Abstract
This chapter focuses on hybrid communication and control and its application to second-order linear/nonlinear multi-agent networks. In terms of the impulsive control, a distributed hybrid control based on impulsive communications is presented, and an index function is introduced to assess the performance of agents. It is shown that by synthesizing the coupling weights and the average impulsive intermittence, multi-agent networks can achieve guaranteed performance consensus. Furthermore, the consensus performance of multi-agent networks with second-order nonlinear dynamics is investigated. In light of consensus performance, we resort to a hybrid impulsive and switching control scheme to develop an improved updating rule such that agents can realize consensus and meet some global performance guarantee simultaneously. Simulations are further presented to illuminate the obtained theoretical results.

Chapter 9. Event-Driven Communication and Control in Multi-Agent Networks
Abstract
Event-triggered/driven control is a measurement-based (e.g., system state or output) sampling control whereas the time instants for sampling and control actions should be determined by a predefined triggering condition (i.e., a measurement-based condition). It thus can be viewed as a type of hybrid control. In a network environment, an important issue in the implementation of distributed algorithms is the communication and control actuation rules. An event-driven scheme would be more favorable in the communication and control actuation for MANs, especially for embedded, interconnected devices with limited resources.

Chapter 10. Hybrid Event-Time-Driven Communication and Network Optimization
Abstract
In sensor networks (SNs), how to allocate the limited resources so as to optimize data gathering and network utility is an important and challenging task. This chapter introduces a hybrid event-time-driven communication and updating scheme, with which sensor network optimization problems can be solved. A distributed hybrid driven optimization algorithm based on the coordinate descent method is presented. The proposed optimization algorithm differs from the existing ones since the hybrid driven scheme allows more choices of actuation time, resulting a tradeoff between communications and computation performance. Applying the proposed algorithm, each sensor node is driven in a hybrid event time manner, which removes the requirement of strict time synchronization. The convergence and optimality of the proposed algorithm are analyzed, and verified by simulation examples. The developed results also show the tradeoff between communications and computation performance.
