Hybrid-delay-dependent approach to synchronization in distributed delay neutral neural networks
Abstract This paper is concerned with the master-slave synchronization in a class of neutral neural networks with both leakage and distributed delays. Firstly, based on state feedback controller, the closed-loop error system can be obtained. Then by fully utilizing the information and internal relationship of time-delays, three augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals (LKFs) are constructed, in which infinite distributed delay and finite one are respectively studied. Especially, some Wirtinger-based inequalities are exploited and an extended reciprocal combination technique (ERCT) is proposed, which can reconsider the previously ignored information. Sufficient conditions are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and can be easily tested. Finally, three numerical examples are given to illustrate the designed schemes.
