Finite-Time and Fixed-Time Synchronization of Delayed Memristive Neural Networks via Adaptive Aperiodically Intermittent Adjustment Strategy

This article investigates the finite-time and fixed-time synchronization for memristive neural networks (MNNs) with mixed time-varying delays under the adaptive aperiodically intermittent adjustment strategy. Different from previous works, this article first employs the aperiodically intermittent adjustment feedback control and adaptive control to drive the MNNs to achieve synchronization in finite time and fixed time. First of all, according to the theories of set-valued mappings and differential inclusions, the error MNNs is derived, and its finite-time and fixed-time stability problems are discussed by applying the Lyapunov function method and some LMI techniques. Moreover, by meticulously designing an effective aperiodically intermittent adjustment with adaptive updating law, sufficient conditions that guarantee the finite-time and fixed-time synchronization of the drive-response MNNs are obtained, and the settling time is explicitly estimated. Finally, three numerical examples are provided to illustrate the validity of the obtained theoretical results.
