Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fractional-order coupling networks are networks in which the connections between nodes have a fractional-order property. Traditional network models usually assume that the connections between nodes are based on integer order. However, fractional-order coupling networks consider that the connections between nodes have a fractional order. In terms of applications, fractional-order coupling networks have a wide range of applications. First, they can be used to study the synchronization and stability of networks. Second, fractional-order coupling networks can be used to simulate and predict the behavior of complex systems. In addition, fractional-order coupling networks can be applied to signal processing, image processing and machine learning to provide new ideas and methods for solving problems in these fields. Overall, the fractional-order coupling network is a novel and promising network model with wide application prospects. By studying and applying fractional-order coupling networks, we can better understand and explore the behavior of complex systems and provide new ideas and methods for solving practical problems.

This Special Issue provides an opportunity to showcase recent developments in the analysis and control of fractional-order delay coupling networks.

We encourage you to submit articles on the recent developments in the area of fractional-order delay coupling networks.

In this article, we propose a new fractional-order delay-coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo neural model. Taking advantage of delay as a bifurcation parameter, we explore the stability and bifurcation of the formulated fractional-order delay-coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo neural model. A delay-independent stability and bifurcation conditions for the fractional-order delay-coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo neural model is acquired. By designing a proper PDp controller, we can efficaciously control the stability domain and the time of emergence of the bifurcation phenomenon of the considered fractional delay-coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo neural model. By exploiting a reasonable hybrid controller, we can successfully adjust the stability domain and the bifurcation onset time of the involved fractional delay-coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo neural model. This study shows that when the delay crosses a critical value, a Hopf bifurcation will arise. When we adjust the control parameter, we can find other critical values to enlarge or narrow the stability domain of the fractional-order delay-coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo neural model. In order to check the correctness of the acquired outcomes of this article, we present some simulation outcomes via Matlab 7.0 software. The obtained theoretical fruits in this article have momentous theoretical significance in running and constructing networks. Full article
