On synchronization for chaotic memristor-based neural networks with time-varying delays

This paper investigates the synchronization problem for chaotic memristor-based neural networks with time-varying delays. First, a novel lemma is proposed to deal with the switching jump parameters. Then, a novel inequality is established which is a multiple integral form of the Wirtinger-based integral inequality. Next, by applying the reciprocally convex combination approach, linear convex combination technique, auxiliary function-based integral inequalities and a free-matrix-based inequality, several novel delay-dependent conditions are established to achieve the globally asymptotical synchronization for the chaotic memristor-based neural networks. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
