A novel direct method to H∞ synchronization of switching inertial neural networks with mixed time-varying delays

In this paper, the H∞ synchronization problem of switching inertial neural networks with mixed time-varying delays is discussed. A parameterized system solution-based direct analysis method combined with minimum residence time method is proposed to solve the considered problem. The advantage of this method is that no model transformation or construction of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is required, thus reducing the complexity of derivation process. In addition, the resulting synchronization conditions composed of some simple scalar inequalities can be easily solved via MATLAB. Finally, the reliability of the theoretical results is illustrated by numerical simulations.
