Global Mittag-Leffler stability and synchronization of impulsive fractional-order neural networks with time-varying delays

摘要

In this paper we consider a class of impulsive Caputo fractional-order cellular neural networks with time-varying delays. Applying the fractional Lyapunov method and Mittag-Leffler functions, we give sufficient conditions for global Mittag-Leffler stability which implies global asymptotic stability of the network equilibrium. Our results provide a design method of impulsive control lawwhich globally asymptotically stabilizes the impulse free fractional-order neural network time-delay model. The synchronization of fractional chaotic networks via non-impulsive linear controller is also considered. Illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
