Gain-Scheduled Finite-Time Synchronization for Reaction-Diffusion Memristive Neural Networks Subject to Inconsistent Markov Chains.

An innovative class of drive-response systems that are composed of Markovian reaction-diffusion memristive neural networks, where the drive and response systems follow inconsistent Markov chains, is proposed in this article. For this kind of nonlinear parameter-varying systems, a suitable gain-scheduled controller that involves a mode and memristor-dependent item is designed, so that the error system is bounded within a finite-time interval. Moreover, by constructing a novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and employing the canonical Bessel-Legendre inequality and free-weighting matrix method, the conservatism of the finite-time synchronization criterion can be greatly reduced. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the feasibility and practicability of the obtained results.
