In this article, the cluster synchronization problem for a class of the nonlinearly coupled delayed neural networks (NNs) in both finite- and fixed-time cases are investigated. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory and pinning control strategy, some criteria are provided to ensure the cluster synchronization of the nonlinearly coupled delayed NNs in both finite-and fixed-time aspects. Then, the settling time for stabilization that is dependent on the initial value and independent of the initial value is estimated, respectively. Finally, we illustrate the feasibility and practicality of the results via a numerical example.

Cluster synchronization means that all multiagents are divided into different clusters according to the equations or roles of nodes in a complex network, and by designing an appropriate algorithm, each cluster can achieve synchronization to a certain value or an isolated node. However, the synchronization values between different clusters are different. With a feedback controller based on the calculation of the control input value and a trigger condition leading to the updating instants, this article introduces the trigger mechanism and designs a new data sampling strategy to achieve cluster synchronization of the coupled neural networks (CNNs), which reduces the number of updates of the controller, thereby reducing unnecessary waste of limited resources. In addition, an example proposes a synchronization algorithm and gives iterative procedures to calculate the trigger instants and prove the validity of the theoretical results.

This paper addresses the problem of observer-based adaptive sliding mode control (SMC) for nonlinear Markov jump systems (MJSs), using a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model with the premise variables of fuzzy rules depend on system state. Firstly, an integral sliding surface is designed based on fuzzy observer system; Secondly, sufficient conditions for stochastic stability and $ H_{\infty} $ perturbation attenuate level are provided for the obtained sliding mode dynamics and error systems using linear matrix inequality techniques. Furthermore, an adaptive SMC law is combined with the observed state variables to ensure finite time reachability of the sliding surface. Lastly, the theory is validated with simulations based on a practical example.
