Abstract

In this article, the cluster synchronization problem for a class of the nonlinearly coupled delayed neural networks (NNs) in both finite- and fixed-time cases are investigated. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory and pinning control strategy, some criteria are provided to ensure the cluster synchronization of the nonlinearly coupled delayed NNs in both finite-and fixed-time aspects. Then, the settling time for stabilization that is dependent on the initial value and independent of the initial value is estimated, respectively. Finally, we illustrate the feasibility and practicality of the results via a numerical example.
