Synchronization of FitzHugh-Nagumo reaction-diffusion systems via one-dimensional linear control law

Abstract

The Fitzhugh-Nagumo model (FN model), which is successfully employed in modeling the function of the so-called membrane potential, exhibits various formations in neuronal networks and rich complex dynamics. This work deals with the problem of control and synchronization of the FN reaction-diffusion model. The proposed control law in this study is designed to be uni-dimensional and linear law for the purpose of reducing the cost of implementation. In order to analytically prove this assertion, Lyapunov’s second method is utilized and illustrated numerically in one- and/or two-spatial dimensions.
