Abstract

In this paper, finite-time cluster synchronization (FTCS) of multi-weighted fractional-order neural networks is studied. Firstly, a FTCS criterion of the considered neural networks is obtained by designing a new delayed state feedback controller. Secondly, a FTCS criterion for the considered neural networks with mixed impulsive effects is given by constructing a new piecewise controller, where both synchronizing and desynchronizing impulses are taken into account. It should be noted that it is the first time that finite-time cluster synchronization of multi-weighted neural networks has been investigated. Finally, numerical simulations are given to show the validity of the theoretical results.
