New Results on Finite-Time Synchronization Control of Chaotic Memristor-Based Inertial Neural Networks with Time-Varying Delays

In this work, we are concerned with the finite-time synchronization (FTS) control issue of the drive and response delayed memristor-based inertial neural networks (MINNs). Firstly, a novel finite-time stability lemma is developed, which is different from the existing finite-time stability criteria and extends the previous results. Secondly, by constructing an appropriate Lyapunov function, designing effective delay-dependent feedback controllers and combining the finite-time control theory with a new non-reduced order method (NROD), several novel theoretical criteria to ensure the FTS for the studied MINNs are provided. In addition, the obtained theoretical results are established in a more general framework than the previous works and widen the application scope. Lastly, we illustrate the practicality and validity of the theoretical results via some numerical examples.
