Finite-Time Stabilizability and Instabilizability for Complex-Valued Memristive Neural Networks With Time Delays

This paper studies the stabilizability and instabilizability problems for delayed complex-valued memristive neural networks within finite-time intervals. First, more general assumptions for complex-valued activation functions are given. To check that whether the closed-loop system is stable within a finite-time interval, a novel nonlinear delayed controller with separable real-imaginary parts is designed. It includes two independent parameters different from the existing ones, which makes the controller more general but also leads to great difficulties. To overcome these difficulties, two new inequalities are proposed and proved. Then, through Lyapunov function approach, sufficient conditions are derived for the finite-time stabilizability of the closed-loop system and the settling time is estimated. Accordingly, some criteria for the finite-time instabilizability are also established by adjusting different parameters in the designed controller. Finally, several numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed results.
