Exponential lag synchronization for neural networks with mixed delays via periodically intermittent control

In this paper, the exponential lag synchronization for a class of neural networks with discrete delays and distributed delays is studied via periodically intermittent control for the first time. Some novel and useful criteria are derived by using mathematical induction method and the analysis technique which are different from the methods employed in correspondingly previous works. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control methods. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3391900]
