Finite-time synchronization for periodic T–S fuzzy master-slave neural networks with distributed delays. Issue 4 (March 2021) - Liu, Chang
Abstract: Finite-time (FT) synchronization for periodic T–S fuzzy master-slave neural networks (NNs) with distributed delays is addressed in this work. A fuzzy controller is designed for the salve NNs to synchronize the master NNs in FT and a synchronization error system (SES) is derived. Sufficient conditions are established to guarantee that the SES is FT bounded by using the mode and fuzzy basis dependent Lyapunov function. A new algorithm is proposed to obtain the suboptimal boundary of the SES to analyze how the periodic characteristics affect the system boundary. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the validity of the fuzzy controller and the iterative algorithm for the boundary.
