This paper considers the chaotic synchronization problem of neural networks with time-varying and distributed delays using impulsive control method. By utilizing the stability theory for impulsive functional differential equations, several impulsive control laws are derived to guarantee the exponential synchronization of neural networks with time-varying and distributed delays. It is shown that chaotic synchronization of the networks is heavily dependent on the designed impulsive controllers. Moreover, these conditions are expressed in terms of LMI and can be easily checked by MATLAB LMI toolbox. Finally, a numerical example and its simulation are given to show the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed control schemes.
► The synchronization problem of NNs with unbounded delays were studied via impulsive control. ► We combined the impulsive theoretical work with LMI technique. ► The restriction on activation functions were relaxed in this paper. ► The methods can be used to the investigation of control problem of some other modellings.
