Abstract
This paper deals with the finite-time synchronization issue of time-varying delayed neural networks (DNNs) with discontinuous activations. Based on master-slave concept, several sufficient conditions are given to guarantee the finite-time synchronization of discontinuous DNNs. In order to control the synchronization error to converge zero in a finite time, we design three classes of novel switching state-feedback controllers which involve time-delays and discontinuous factors. The analysis in this paper employs the extended differential inclusion theory, the famous finite-time stability theorem, inequality techniques and generalized Lyapunov approach. Moreover, the upper bounds of the settling time of synchronization are estimated. Finally, the validity of proposed design method and theoretical results are illustrated by numerical examples.
