Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of achieving prescribed-time synchronization of coupled switched neural networks (CSNNs) using state-dependent intermittent control. Unlike traditional intermittent control, the intervals for work and rest in this approach are not pre-designed but determined by the relationship between the designed Lyapunov function and the boundary auxiliary functions. The proposed control strategy can effectively mitigate chattering behavior arising from rapid switching in traditional intermittent control. Subsequently, leveraging Lyapunov theory and various inequality techniques, we develop a new set of sufficient conditions, formulated as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), to ensure prescribed-time synchronization of CSNNs under the designed intermittent control strategy. In the end, a numerical example is given to verify the obtained theoretical results.
