Synchronization of nonautonomous neural networks with Caputo derivative and time delay

Abstract

<abstract> <p>The synchronization problem of delayed nonautonomous neural networks with Caputo derivative is studied in this article. Firstly, new neural networks are proposed by introducing variable parameters into known models, and the analytical formula of the synchronous controller is given according to the new neural networks. Secondly, from the drive-response systems corresponding to the above delayed neural networks, their error system is obtained. Thirdly, by constructing the Lyapunov function and utilizing the Razumikhin-type stability theorem, the asymptotic stability of zero solution for the error system is verified, and some sufficient conditions are achieved to ensure the global asymptotic synchronization of studied neural networks. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to show the availability and feasibility of our obtained results.</p> </abstract>
