Abstract This paper investigates the fixed-time synchronization problems for competitive neural networks with proportional delays and impulsive effect. The concerned network involves two coupling terms, i.e., long-term memory and short-term memory, which leads to the difficulty to the dynamics analysis. Based on Lyapunov functionals, the differential inequalities and for the objective of making the settling time independent of initial condition, a novel criterion guaranteeing the fixed-time synchronization of addressed system is derived. Finally, two examples and their simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.

1 Introduction In recent years, various neural networks (NNs) such as cellular neural networks, Hopfield neural networks, bidirectional associative memory neural networks, and competitive neural networks have been extensively studied in both theory and application, and they have been successfully applied to signal processing, pattern recognition, & Chaouki Aouiti [email protected]; [email protected] El Abed Assali [email protected] Farouk Che´rif [email protected] Anis Zeglaoui [email protected] 1

associative memory, optimization problems, [1–4] and multiscale modeling [5–8]. For example, the authors in [5] present an artificial NNs-based multiscale method for coupling continuum and molecular simulations. In [6], the authors investigated the development of a neural network approach in conjunction with molecular dynamics simulations. One of the popular NNs is competitive neural networks (CompNNs) which is introduced by Cohen and Grossberg [9] in 1983. Recently, Meyer-Ba¨se [10] proposed in 1996 the so-called CompNNs with different time scales. So, CompNNs with different time scales are extensions of Hopfield neural networks [11, 12], Grossberg’s shunting network [13] and Amaris model for primitive neuronal competition [14], which model the dynamics of cortical cognitive maps with unsupervised synaptic modifications. In the model of CompNNs, there are two types of state variable: that of the (STM: short-term memory) describ
