Description
Summary:Abstract This paper is concerned with the global fixed-time synchronization issue for semi-Markovian jumping neural networks with time-varying delays. A novel state-feedback controller, which includes integral terms and time-varying delay terms, is designed to realize the fixed-time synchronization goal between the drive system and the response system. By applying the Lyapunov functional approach and matrix inequality analysis technique, the fixed-time synchronization conditions are addressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed control scheme and the validity of theoretical results.
