Abstract
In this paper, we propose an analytical approach based on the Laplace transform and Mittag–Leffler functions combining with linear matrix inequality techniques to study finite-time stability of fractional-order neural networks (FONNs) with time-varying delay. The concept of finite-time stability is extended to the fractional-order neural networks and the delay function is assumed to be non-differentiable, but continuous and bounded. We first prove some important lemmas on the existence of solutions and on estimation of the Caputo derivative of specific quadratic functions. Then, new delay-dependent sufficient conditions for finite-time stability of FONNs with time-varying delay are derived in terms of a tractable linear matrix inequality and Mittag–Leffler functions. Finally, a numerical example with simulations is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the theoretical results.
