Finite-Time Passivity and Synchronization of Coupled Reaction–Diffusion Neural Networks With Multiple Weights

In this paper, two multiple weighted coupled reaction-diffusion neural networks (CRDNNs) with and without coupling delays are introduced. On the one hand, some finitetime passivity (FTP) concepts are proposed for the spatially and temporally system with different dimensions of output and input. By choosing appropriate Lyapunov functionals and controllers, several sufficient conditions are presented to ensure the FTP of these CRDNNs. On the other hand, the finite-time synchronization (FTS) problem is also discussed for the multiple weighted CRDNNs with and without coupling delays, respectively. Finally, two numeral examples with simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the obtained FTP and FTS criteria.
