Synchronization of time-varying time delayed neutral-type neural networks for finite-time in complex field

This paper deals with the problem of finite-time projective synchronization for a class of neutral-type complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) with time-varying delays.  A simple state feedback control protocol is developed such that slave CVNNs  can be projective synchronized with the master system in finite time.  By employing inequalities technique and designing new Lyapunov--Krasovskii functionals, various novel and easily verifiable conditions are obtained to ensure the finite-time projective synchronization.  It is found that the settling time can be explicitly calculated for the neutral-type CVNNs.  Finally, two numerical simulation results are demonstrated to validate the theoretical results of this paper.
