Finite-Time Mittag–Leffler Synchronization of Neutral-Type Fractional-Order Neural Networks with Leakage Delay and Time-Varying Delays

This paper studies fractional-order neural networks with neutral-type delay, leakage delay, and time-varying delays. A sufficient condition which ensures the finite-time synchronization of these networks based on a state feedback control scheme is deduced using the generalized Gronwall–Bellman inequality. Then, a different state feedback control scheme is employed to realize the finite-time Mittag–Leffler synchronization of these networks by using the fractional-order extension of the Lyapunov direct method for Mittag–Leffler stability. Two numerical examples illustrate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the deduced sufficient criteria.
