Abstract

The synchronization problem of bidirectional associative memory memristive neural networks (BAMMNNs) with time-varying delays plays an essential role in the implementation and application of neural networks. Firstly, under the framework of the Filippov's solution, the discontinuous parameters of the state-dependent switching are transformed by convex analysis method, which is different from most previous approaches. Secondly, based on Lyapunov function and some inequality techniques, several conditions for the fixed-time synchronization (FXTS) of the drive-response systems are obtained by designing special control strategies. Moreover, the settling time (ST) is estimated by the improved fixed-time stability lemma. Thirdly, the driven-response BAMMNNs are investigated to be synchronized within a prescribed time by designing new controllers based on the FXTS results, where ST is irrelevant to the initial values of BAMMNNs and the parameters of controllers. Finally, a numerical simulation is exhibited to verify the correctness of the conclusions.
