Finite-time and fixed-time synchronization analysis of shunting inhibitory memristive neural networks with time-varying delays

In the present paper, we investigate both the finite-time and fixed-time synchronization of retarded shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functions and feedback control schemes we derive several sufficient conditions to guarantee finite-time and fixed-time synchronization of such networks. Finally, to illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results we consider examples with numerical simulations.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Automated summary

This paper investigates the finite-time and fixed-time synchronization problems of retarded shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks. Several sufficient conditions to ensure the synchronization of such networks are derived by constructing suitable Lyapunov functions and feedback control schemes. Numerical simulations are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
