Synchronization criteria for coupled neural networks with interval time-varying delays and leakage delay

Abstract This paper considers the synchronization problem for coupled neural networks with interval time-varying delays and leakage delay. By construction of a suitable Lyapunov–Krasovskii’s functional and utilization of Finsler’s lemma, novel delay-dependent criteria for the synchronization of the networks are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which can be easily solved by various effective optimization algorithms. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
