Prescribed-Time Synchronization of Coupled Memristive Neural Networks with Heterogeneous Impulsive Effects

This paper is concerned with the prescribed-time synchronization of coupled memristive neural networks (MNNs). The impulsive effects with heterogeneous impulsive instants and impulsive strengths are considered. Different from related results on the fixed-time synchronization, this paper focuses on the prescribed-time synchronization of coupled MNNs, in which the settling time can be prescribed according to task requirements. A sufficient criterion is derived to ensure the prescribed-time synchronization of coupled MNNs. Besides, the proposed design method provides less conservatism compared with the existing results. A numerical example and an application in secure communication are provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results
