Finite-Time Synchronization of Fractional-Order Memristive Fuzzy Neural Networks: Event-Based Control With Linear Measurement Error.

ABSTRACT

This article develops a novel event-triggered finite-time control strategy to investigate the finite-time synchronization (F-tS) of fractional-order memristive neural networks with state-based switching fuzzy terms. A key distinction of this approach, compared with existing event-based finite-time control schemes, is the linearity of the measurement error function in the event-triggering mechanism (ETM). The advantage of linear measurement error not only simplifies computational tasks but also aids in demonstrating the exclusion of Zeno behavior for fractional-order systems (FSs). Furthermore, to derive F-tS criteria in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), a novel finite-time analytical framework for FSs is proposed. This framework includes two original inequalities and a weighted-norm-based Lyapunov function. The effectiveness and superiority of the theoretical results are demonstrated through two examples. Both theoretical and experimental results suggest that the criteria obtained using the new analytical framework are less conservative than existing results.
