New results on adaptive fixed-time control for convex-delayed neural networks

Abstract

This paper studies the adaptive fixed-time synchronization issue for convex-delayed neural networks. First, the convex delay is introduced to address the state delay of neural networks in order to reflect the impacts of multiple delay components such as input transition time and switching communication. Then, a new fixed-time control method is presented to adaptively determine multi-control gains with a unified update law. Afterward, some sufficient criteria are figured out by using Lyapunov stability theorem to ensure that the delayed neural networks are fixed-timely stable. Finally, simulated examples are adopted to validate our theoretical results.
