Guaranteed cost control for exponential synchronization of cellular neural networks with mixed time-varying delays via hybrid feedback control (Q369744)

Summary: The problem of guaranteed cost control for exponential synchronization of cellular neural networks with interval non-differentiable and distributed time-varying delays via hybrid feedback control is considered. The interval time-varying delay function is not necessary to be differentiable. The construction of improved Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals is based on Leibniz-Newton's formula and methods of dealing with some integral terms. New delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the exponential synchronization of the error systems with memoryless hybrid feedback control are first established in terms of LMIs without introducing any free-weighting matrices. The optimal guaranteed cost control with linear error hybrid feedback is turned into the solvable problem of a set of LMIs. A numerical example is also given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
