Finite/fixed-time synchronization control of fuzzy inertial cellular neural networks with mixed delays

Abstract

In this paper, the finite-time (FT) and fixed-time synchronization (F-TS) problems of fuzzy inertial cellular neural networks (FICNNs) with mixed delays are discussed based on the Filippov solution theory and FT stability theory. Compared with related research, this paper considers the fuzzy inertial system combined with discontinuous activation of cellular neural networks (CNNs) for the first time. Then, by choosing appropriate variable transformation, the original system can be rewritten as a first-order differential system. Some novel and useful sufficient conditions for finite/fixed-time synchronization of FICNNs are established by applying three suitable discontinuous state feedback controllers. Finally, three numerical simulations are presented to elaborate the validity of the proposed methods.
