A new predefined-time stability theorem and its application in the synchronization of memristive complex-valued BAM neural networks.

In this paper, two novel and general predefined-time stability lemmas are given and applied to the predefined-time synchronization problem of memristive complex-valued bidirectional associative memory neural networks (MCVBAMNNs). Firstly, different from the generally fixed-time stability lemma, the setting of an adjustable time parameter in the derived predefined-time stability lemma causes it to be more flexible and more general. Secondly, the model studied in the complex-valued BAM neural networks model, which is different from the previous discussion of the real part and imaginary part respectively. It is more practical to study the complex-valued nonseparation. Thirdly, two effective controllers are designed to realize the synchronization performance of BAM neural networks based on the predefined-time stability, and the analysis is given based on general predefined-time synchronization. Finally, the correctness of the theoretical derivation is verified by numerical simulation. A secure communication scheme based on predefined-time synchronization of MCVBAMNNs is proposed, and the effectiveness and superiority of the results are proved.
