Finite-Time Passivity of Coupled Different Dimensional Neural Networks with Constant Distributed-Delay Coupling

In the paper, the finite-time passivity of coupled different dimensional neural networks (CDDNNs) with constant distributed-delay coupling is discussed. First, we present a precise mathematical formulation for the network model of CDDNNs considered in this work. Then, by designing an appropriate controller and selecting a suitable Lyapunov functional, sufficient conditions are established respectively to ensure the finite-time passivity, finite-time input strict passivity and finite-time output strict passivity of CDDNNs with constant distributed-delay coupling. Finally, a numerical example along with simulation results is presented to demonstrate the validity of the obtained passivity results.
