This article addresses the problems of fixed-time stabilization for a class of quaternion fuzzy neural networks (QFNNs) with time-varying delay. The QFNNs are developed by dividing our system into four real-valued parts based on the Hamilton rule. Then, based on fixed-time stability theory, some inequality techniques, and selecting the appropriate controllers and Lyapunov function, a novel criterion guaranteeing the fixed-time stabilization and the finite-time stabilization of the addressed system is derived. Finally, three numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.
