Abstract

This paper investigates the fixed-time synchronization of Memristor-based neural networks with time-delayed and coupled. In view of the retarded differential inclusions theory, drive-response concept, the authors give some sufficient conditions to ensure the fixed-time synchronization issue of Memristor-based neural networks. Two novel state-feedback controllers and adaptive controller are designed such that the system can realize fixed-time complete synchronization by means of inequality technique and non-smooth analysis theory. It is worth to point out that, without desiring values of the initial conditions or under the linear growth condition of the controller, the settling time of fixed-time synchronization is estimated. Finally, an example is given to further illustrate the benefits of the proposed switched control approach.
