Abstract
The multi-weighted coupled neural networks (MWCNNs) models with and without coupling delays are investigated in this paper. Firstly, the finite-time anti-synchronization of MWCNNs with fixed topology and switching topology is analyzed respectively by utilizing Lyapunov functional approach as well as some inequality techniques, and several anti-synchronization criteria are put forward for the considered networks. Furthermore, when the parameter uncertainties appear in MWCNNs, some conditions for ensuring robust finite-time anti-synchronization are obtained. Similarly, we also consider the finite-time anti-synchronization and robust finite-time anti-synchronization for MWCNNs with coupling delays under fixed and switched topologies respectively. Lastly, two numerical examples with simulations are provided to confirm the effectiveness of these derived results.

1 Introduction
In recent years, neural networks (NNs) have become a hot topic because of their widespread applications, especially in optimization, associate memory, pattern recognition and so on [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. Actually, these applications are heavily dependent on their dynamical behaviors. Hence, a lot of meaningful and important research results have been reported on stability and passivity of NNs [8,9,10,11,12,13]. Zhang et al. [8] studied the stability for a class of discrete-time NNs with time-varying delay via an extended reciprocally convex matrix inequality. The authors in [9] discussed the stability of complex-valued memristive recurrent NNs. By utilizing Lyapunov functional approach and some inequality techniques, the passivity and stability problems for NNs with reaction–diffusion terms were considered in [10].
As a particular sort of complex networks, coupled NNs (CNNs) are composed of many NNs which interact with each other. As we all known, synchronization is one of the most significant dynamic properties in CNNs, which has been applied in many areas such as image processing, secure communication [14, 15]. Therefore, it is of great significance to investigate the synchronization of CNNs [16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. Wang et al. [18] studied the local synchronization problem for a sort of Markovian nonlinearly CNNs by applying the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional as well as free-matrix-based integral inequality. Based on Lyapunov functions, Halanay inequality and stochastic analysis technique, the exponential synchronization problem of CNNs with time-varying delay was investigated in [19]. Several criteria for ensuring exponential synchronization for markovian stochastic CNNs were carried out via adaptive feedback control in [20]. The work in [22] analyzed the exponential synchronization and passivity of CNNs with reaction–diffusion terms by adopting appropriate pinning controllers. What is noteworthy is that anti-synchronization is also a fascinating phenomenon in the real world, which widely exists in memristive recurrent NNs, periodic oscillators, and so forth. Moreover, up to now, anti-synchronization has been successfully applied in many fields, for instance, image processing, information science and so on. Hence, it is highly meaningful to study anti-synchronization [23,24,25,26,27,28]. Some conditions for guaranteeing anti-synchronization of CNNs with mixed time-varying delays were set up via randomly occurring control in [25]. Liu et al. [26] devoted themselves to the anti-synchronization for the considered complex-valued memristive NNs by employing suitable Lyapunov functional and some inequality techniques. In [28], the anti-synchronization problem of a memristor-based bidirectional associate memory NN was studied by utilizing a robust feedback controller with an appropriate gain control matrix.
In many practical applications, it is usually required to realize synchronization within a limited time interval. Accordingly, a large number of literatures on finite-time synchronization have been reported [29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40]. In [29], several conditions for ensuring the finite-time synchronization of CNNs with time-varying delays were derived by designing a stochastic multiple Lyapunov–Krasovskii function and using weighted integral inequality. Some discontinuous or continuous controllers were constructed for the finite-time synchronization problem of switched CNNs in [30]. Sun et al. [32] investigated the finite-time synchronization for two complex-variable chaotic systems with unknown parameters via nonsingular terminal sliding mode control. However, only a few results have been obtained about finite-time anti-synchronizaton up to now [41, 42]. In [41], the finite-time anti-synchronization for a class of time-varying delayed NNs was studied via feedback control with intermittent adjustment. The authors proposed some finite-time anti-synchronization criteria for memristive NNs by designing a nonlinear controller in [42]. As far as we know, a great many of existing networks can be described more accurately by multi-weighted complex dynamical networks (MWCDNs), for instance, transportation networks, social networks, communication networks and so on. Therefore, it is of great significance to study MWCDNs [43]. Qiu et al. [43] proposed several finite-time synchronization conditions for MWCDNs with and without coupling delays by means of Lyapunov functional approach and state feedback controllers. However, there are only a few results reported on the finite-time synchronization of MWCNNs [44]. In [44], several novel criteria for guaranteeing finite-time synchronization of MWCNNs with and without coupling delays were provided by exploiting new definitions of finite-time synchronization and designing appropriate controllers. It is a pity that the finite-time anti-synchronization of MWCNNs has not yet been considered in existing research results.
As is well known, the connection topology of most of networks mentioned above is always supposed to be fixed. Nevertheless, in practical applications, this requirement is very strict because of the impacts of limited communications and external disturbances. Therefore, more and more researchers devoted themselves to studying the synchronization of NNs with switching topology [45,46,47,48]. In [46], the authors investigated the finite-time synchronization of a sort of uncertain CNNs with switching topology by constructing appropriate Lyapunov-like functionals and using the average dwell time technique. The work in [47] proposed some conditions for guaranteeing pinning synchronization of directed networks with switching topologies by employing a multiple Lyapunov functions approach. Based on Lyapunov functional approach and some inequality techniques, Qin et al. [48] studied the synchronization and \(\mathcal {H}_\infty \) synchronization of MWCDNs with fixed and switching topologies. However, there is no research results reported on the finite-time anti-synchronization for MWCNNs with switching topology until now.
On the other hand, some uncertain factors may be occurred in NNs due to the existence of environmental noises and modeling errors, which might cause the exact parameter values of NNs could not be obtained. Therefore, it is important to consider the robust synchronization of CNNs which consisting of several identical uncertain NNs [49,50,51,52]. In [49], the authors investigated the robust synchronization of fractional-order CNNs by utilizing pinning control strategies. The robust synchronization problem for delayed CNNs with uncertain parameters was studied by intermittent pinning control in [50]. By using inequality techniques and constructing appropriate Lyapunov functional, Qin et al. [51] discussed the robust synchronization and \(\mathcal {H}_\infty \) synchronization of MWCDNs with uncertain parameters. To our best knowledge, the robust finite-time anti-synchronization for MWCNNs with uncertain parameters has never been discussed.
On the basis of the above discussion, we study the finite-time anti-synchronization and robust finite-time anti-synchronization of MWCNNs with fixed and switching topologies in this paper. Firstly, we present two MWCNN models. The first one is with constant coupling, and the second MWCNN is with delayed coupling. Then, several finite-time anti-synchronization criteria for these considered networks with fixed as well as switching topologies are derived respectively. Furthermore, some sufficient conditions for ensuring robust finite-time anti-synchronization of MWCNNs with fixed and switching topologies are also established.
In view of the above-mentioned discussion, the principal objective of this paper is to study the finite-time anti-synchronization of multi-weighted coupled neural networks (MWCNNs). The main contribution of this paper can be summarized as follows.
- (1)
The finite-time anti-synchronization of MWCNNs with fixed and switching topologies is studied and several criteria are put forward by designing a suitable controller and constructing an appropriate Lyapunov functional.
- (2)
Some conditions for guaranteeing the robust finite-time anti-synchronization of MWCNNs with uncertain parameters under fixed and switching topologies are established respectively.
- (3)
For the delayed MWCNNs, the finite-time anti-synchronization and robust finite-time anti-synchronization conditions are also derived similarly.
The outline of this paper is organized as follows. Several lemmas needed to be used throughout this paper are provided in Sect. 2. Section 3 is devoted to analyzing finite-time anti-synchronization and the robust finite-time anti-synchronization for MWCNNs with fixed and switching topologies, respectively. In Sect. 4, the network model of MWCNNs with coupling delays is introduced, and then the finite-time anti-synchronization and the robust finite-time anti-synchronization for this kind of MWCNNs with fixed and switching topologies are investigated. Two simulation examples are presented in Sect. 5 to verify the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results. Finally, this paper is concluded in Sect. 6.

Consider the following MWCNNs with fixed topology:
where \({Y_\iota }(t)=(Y_{\iota 1}(t), Y_{\iota 2}(t), \ldots , Y_{\iota n}(t))^T\in \mathbb {R}^{n}\) is the state vector of the \(\iota \)th node; \(A=\mathrm {diag}(a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_n)\in \mathbb {R}^{n\times n}>0, D= (d_{\iota j})_{n\times n}\in \mathbb {R}^{n\times n}\) symbols a constant matrix; \(g(Y_\iota (t))=(g_1(Y_{\iota 1}{(t)}), g_2(Y_{\iota 2}{(t)}), \ldots , g_n(Y_{\iota n}{(t)}))^T\in \mathbb {R}^{n}\) and \(\mathbb {R}\ni c_s>0\) represents coupling strength for the sth coupling form; \(u_\iota (t)\in \mathbb {R}^n\) means the control input; \(\varGamma _s\in \mathbb {R}^{n\times {n}}\) is the inner coupling matrix of the sth coupling form; \(G^s=~(G^s_{\iota j})_{\kappa \times {\kappa }}\in \mathbb {R}^{\kappa \times {\kappa }}\) expresses coupling weight between nodes in the sth coupling form, where \(G^s_{\iota j}\) is defined as follows: \(G^s_{\iota j}=G^s_{j\iota }>0\) if and only if there exists a connection between node \(\iota \) and node j for the sth coupling form; if not, \(G^s_{\iota j}=G^s_{j\iota }=0~(\iota \ne {j})\); and
where \(s=1, 2, \ldots , m\).
Assumption 1
The function \(g_k(\cdot )~(k=1,2,\ldots ,n)\) satisfies
for any \(\alpha _{1},\alpha _{2}\in \mathbb {R}\), where \(0<\theta _{k}\in \mathbb {R}\). Take \(\varTheta =\mathrm {diag}(\theta _{1}^2, \theta _{2}^2, \ldots , \theta _{n}^2)\in \mathbb {R}^{n\times {n}}\).
Suppose \(Y_0(t)=(Y_{01}(t), Y_{02}(t), \ldots , Y_{0n}(t))^T\in ~\mathbb {R}^n\) is an arbitrary solution for the network (1), then
Definition 1
For all \(\iota =1,2,\ldots ,\kappa \), if there exists a constant \(T>0\) such that
then the network (1) is called to be anti-synchronized in finite time.
Design the following controller for the network (1):
where \(W_\iota \in \mathbb {R}^{n\times n}\), \(0<a<1\), \(\text {sign}(Y_\iota (t)+Y_0(t))=\text {diag}(\text {sign}(Y_{\iota 1}(t)+Y_{01}(t)),\text {sign}(Y_{\iota 2}(t)+Y_{02}(t)),\ldots ,\text {sign}(Y_{\iota n}(t)+Y_{0n}(t)))\), \(|Y_\iota (t)+Y_0(t)|^a=(|Y_{\iota 1}(t)+Y_{01}(t)|^a,|Y_{\iota 2}(t)+Y_{02}(t)|^a,\ldots ,|Y_{\iota n}(t)+Y_{0n}(t)|^a)^T\), \(0<\eta \in \mathbb {R}\), \(0<P=\text {diag}(p_1,p_2,\ldots ,p_n)\in \mathbb {R}^{n\times n}\), \(P^{\frac{a-1}{2}}=\mathrm {diag}(p^{\frac{a-1}{2}}_1,p^{\frac{a-1}{2}}_2,\ldots ,p_n^{\frac{a-1}{2}})\). Then, we have
Take \(e_\iota (t)=Y_\iota (t)+Y_0(t)\). Then, one can get
Theorem 1
If there exist matrices \(0<P=\mathrm {diag}(p_1,p_2,\ldots ,p_n)\in \mathbb {R}^{n\times {n}}\) and \(W=\mathrm {diag}(W_1,W_2,\ldots ,W_\kappa )\in \mathbb {R}^{n\kappa \times {n\kappa }}\) such that
where \(K_1=I_\kappa \otimes (-PA-AP+PDD^TP+\varTheta ),~K_2=-(I_\kappa \otimes P)W-W^T (I_\kappa \otimes P)\), then the network (1) is said to be finite-timely anti-synchronized under the controller (3). What’s more, the settling time of anti-synchronization T satisfies \(T\leqslant T_1=\frac{(V_1(0))^\frac{1-a}{2}}{\eta (1-a)}.\)
Proof
Define the following Lyapunov functional for network (4):
Then, one has
Obviously,
From (7), we can obtain
where \(e(t)=(e^T_1(t), e^T_2(t),\ldots ,e^T_\kappa (t))^T\). According to Lemma 2, we can easily obtain
From (5), (8), (9) and Lemma 2, we can get
By Lemma 1, we can get \(V_1(t)=0,~t>T_1\) with \(T_1=\frac{(V_1(0))^\frac{1-a}{2}}{\eta (1-a)}\).
On the other hand,
where \(\lambda _m(P)>0\).
From (10), we obtain \(\Vert e_\iota (t)\Vert _2=0,~t>T_1\), where \(\iota =1,2,\ldots ,\kappa \). Therefore, the network (1) achieves finite-time anti-synchronization under the controller (3). The proof is completed. \(\square \)

For each \(\varsigma \in I,~G^{s,\varsigma }=(G^{s,\varsigma }_{\iota j})_{\kappa \times \kappa }\) represents the coupling configuration matrix in the sth coupling form for the \(\varsigma \)th topology, which satisfies \(G^{s,\varsigma }_{\iota j}=G^{s,\varsigma }_{j\iota }>0\) if nodes \(\iota \) and j are connected for the \(\varsigma \)th topology; otherwise, \(G^{s,\varsigma }_{\iota j}=G^{s,\varsigma }_{j\iota }=0~(\iota \ne j)\); and
For the network (11), design the same controller as (3). Then, we can obtain
Let \(e_\iota (t)=Y_\iota (t)+Y_0(t)\), then

where \(\varsigma =1,2,\ldots ,i,~K_1=I_\kappa \otimes {(-PA-AP+PDD^TP+\varTheta })~and~K_2=-(I_\kappa \otimes P)W-W^T (I_\kappa \otimes P)\), then the network (11) is finite-timely anti-synchronized under the controller (3). Moreover, the settling time of anti-synchronization T satisfies \(T\leqslant T_1=\frac{(V_1(0))^\frac{1-a}{2}}{\eta (1-a)}.\)
Proof
Select the same Lyapunov functional as (6) for the network (12). Then, we have
It follows from (9), (13) and Lemma 2 that
Similar to the proof of Theorem 1, we can derive \(\Vert e_\iota (t)\Vert _2=0,~t>T_1\), where \(\iota =1,2,\ldots ,\kappa \). Thus, the network (11) reaches finite-time anti-synchronization under the controller (3). The proof is completed. \(\square \)

3.2.1 Robust Anti-synchronization in Finite Time for MWCNNs with Fixed Topology
During the modeling process of CNNs, the existence of environmental noise, limitations of equipment and external interference may lead to the parameters varying within bounded ranges in some circumstances. Therefore, we consider a MWCNNs with parameteric uncertainties consisting of \(\kappa \) identical nodes in this section which can be described as

Therefore, the network (20) with the parameter ranges defined by (15) achieves robust finite-time anti-synchronization under the controller (3). The proof is completed. \(\square \)
Remark 1
In recent years, some meaningful research results have been reported on the dynamical behaviors of Markovian jump systems [55,56,57,58,59,60,61]. Shen et al. [56] investigated the finite-time event-triggered \(H_{\infty }\) control problem for Takagi-Sugeno Markov jump fuzzy systems. As is well known, Markov jump systems can be used to model some real-life systems experiencing random changes in their parameters or structures. Therefore, it would be very interesting to apply a Markov process into the MWCNNs considered in our paper and investigate the finite-time anti-synchronization of MWCNNs with Markovian jump topology. This would be a meaningful problem for our future research.

4.2.2 Robust Anti-synchronization in Finite Time for Delayed MWCNNs with Switching Topology
In this subsection, the network model of delayed MWCNNs with the parameter uncertainties and switching topology is described by:
where \(\iota =1, 2, \ldots , \kappa ,~Y_\iota (t),~g(\cdot ),~c_s,~u_\iota (t),~\varGamma _s\) represent the same definitions as those in Sect. 3.1.1, A, D change in some given precision described by (15), \(\tau _s(t)\) is the time-varying delay as that in Sect. 4.1.1, and \(G^{s,\varsigma }_{\iota j}\) has the same meaning as that in Sect. 3.1.2.
Construct the same controller as (24) for the network (35). Then,
Let \(e_\iota (t)=Y_\iota (t)+Y_0(t)\). Then, we have
where \(\iota = 1, 2, \ldots , \kappa \), A and D are uncertain parameters which belong to the ranges given in (15).
Theorem 8
Suppose \(\dot{\tau }_s(t)\leqslant \gamma _s<1\). The network (35) with the parameter ranges defined by (15) achieves robust finite-time anti-synchronization under the controller (24) if there exist matrices \(0<P=\mathrm {diag}(p_1,p_2,\ldots ,p_n)\in \mathbb {R}^{n\times {n}}\), \(W=\mathrm {diag}(W_1,W_2,\ldots ,W_\kappa )\in \mathbb {R}^{n\kappa \times {n\kappa }}\) and \(0<Q_s=\mathrm {diag}(Q^s_1,Q^s_2,\ldots ,Q^s_\kappa )\in \mathbb {R}^{n\kappa \times n\kappa }\), such that
where \(\varsigma =1,2,\ldots ,i,~K_3=I_\kappa \otimes {(-PA^{-}-A^{-}P+\varrho _DP^2+\varTheta }),~K_2=-(I_\kappa \otimes P)W-W^T (I_\kappa \otimes P),~\varrho _D=\sum _{r=1}^{n}\sum _{j=1}^{n}\tilde{d}_{r j}^2,~F_{s,\varsigma }=G^{s,\varsigma }\otimes (\varGamma ^T_s P)\). What’s more, the settling time of anti-synchronization T satisfies \(T\leqslant T_2=\frac{(V_2(0))^\frac{1-a}{2}}{\eta (1-a)}.\)
Proof
Construct the same Lyapunov functional as in Theorem 5 for network (36). Then,
Similar to the proof of Theorem 1, it is easy to obtain \(\Vert e_\iota (t)\Vert _2=0,~\iota =1,2,\ldots ,\kappa ,~t>T_2\). Obviously, the network (35) with the parameter ranges defined by (15) achieves robust finite-time anti-synchronization under the controller (24). The proof is completed. \(\square \)
Remark 2
In this paper, by designing suitable state feedback controllers, several sufficient conditions which guarantee the finite-time anti-synchronization of MWCNNs with and without coupling delays are obtained. To the best of knowledge, this is the first paper toward to studying anti-synchronization for MWCNNs in finite time. Recently, a few scholars established some novel finite-time synchronization criteria for complex networks via intermittent feedback control scheme [35, 36]. Incorporating this new control approach and techniques into the research on finite-time anti-synchronization of MWCNNs is a very interesting and challenging problem, which would become one of research topics of our future work.
5 Numerical Examples
Example 4.1
Consider the switched MWCNNs with parameter uncertainties as follows:
where \(\iota =1,2,\ldots ,6,~\varsigma =1,2\), \(g_k(\sigma )=\frac{|\sigma +1|-|\sigma -1|}{4}~(k=1,2,3)\), \(G^{1,1}\) and \(G^{1,2}\) are two possible topologies which are switched as \(G^{1,1}\rightarrow G^{1,2}\rightarrow G^{1,1}\rightarrow G^{1,2}\rightarrow \cdots \), and each graph is active for 1s, \(G^{2,1},~G^{2,2},~G^{3,1},~G^{3,2}\) are switched in the same way. The inner coupling matrices \(\varGamma _1,~\varGamma _2,~\varGamma _3\) and the coupling matrices \(G^{1,1}=(G^{1,1}_{\iota j})_{6\times 6},~G^{1,2}=(G^{1,2}_{\iota j})_{6\times 6},~G^{2,1}=(G^{2,1}_{\iota j})_{6\times 6},~G^{2,2}=(G^{2,2}_{\iota j})_{6\times 6},~G^{3,1}=(G^{3,1}_{\iota j})_{6\times 6},~G^{3,2}=(G^{3,2}_{\iota j})_{6\times 6}\) are chosen as, respectively
The parameters \(A=\mathrm {diag}(a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_n)\), \(D=(d_{rj})_{n\times n}\) in the network (38) can be changed in the following given precisions:
Obviously, \(g_k(\cdot )~(k=1,2,3)\) satisfies \(\mathbf {Assumption~1}\) with \(\theta _k=0.5\). Take \(W=\mathrm {diag}(0.2I_3,0.4I_3,0.3I_3,0.6I_3,0.7I_3,0.5I_3)\). The following matrix P satisfying (22) can be computed by utilizing MATLAB Toolbox:
According to Theorem 4, the network (38) with the parameter ranges defined by (39) achieves robust finite-time anti-synchronization under the controller (3) and the time estimation of achieving anti-synchronization is \(T_1=9.32\). The simulation result is displayed in Fig. 1.
Example 4.2

where \(\iota =1,2,\ldots ,6,~\varsigma =1,2\), \(g_k(\sigma )=\frac{|\sigma +1|-|\sigma -1|}{8}~(k=1,2,3)\), \(\tau _1(t)=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{30}e^{-t},~\tau _2(t)=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{40}e^{-t},~\tau _3(t)=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{50}e^{-t},~\tau =\frac{1}{10},~\gamma _1=\frac{1}{30},~\gamma _2=\frac{1}{40},~\gamma _3=\frac{1}{50}\), \(G^{1,1}\) and \(G^{1,2}\) are two possible topologies which are switched as \(G^{1,1}\rightarrow G^{1,2}\rightarrow G^{1,1}\rightarrow G^{1,2}\rightarrow \cdots \), and \(G^{2,1},~G^{2,2},~G^{3,1},~G^{3,2}\) are switched in the same way with activation time of 1s for each graph. The inner coupling matrices \(\varGamma _1,~\varGamma _2,~\varGamma _3\) and the coupling matrices \(G^{1,1}=(G^{1,1}_{\iota j})_{6\times 6},~G^{1,2}=(G^{1,2}_{\iota j})_{6\times 6},~G^{2,1}=(G^{2,1}_{\iota j})_{6\times 6},~G^{2,2}=(G^{2,2}_{\iota j})_{6\times 6},~G^{3,1}=(G^{3,1}_{\iota j})_{6\times 6},~G^{3,2}=(G^{3,2}_{\iota j})_{6\times 6}\) are chosen as, respectively
The parameters \(A=\mathrm {diag}(a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_n)\), \(D=(d_{rj})_{n\times n}\) in the network (40) can be changed same as those in (39). Obviously, \(g_k(\cdot )~(k=1,2,3)\) satisfies Assumption 1 with \(\theta _k=0.25\). Take \(W=\mathrm {diag}(0.2I_3,0.1I_3,0.3I_3,0.6I_3,0.4I_3,0.5I_3)\). By employing MATLAB Toolbox, the following matrices \(P,~Q_1,~Q_2\) and \(Q_3\) satisfying (37) can be obtained:
According to Theorem 8, the network (40) with the parameter ranges defined by (39) achieves robust finite-time anti-synchronization under the controller (24) and the time estimation of achieving anti-synchronization is \(T_2=4.46\). The simulation result is displayed in Fig. 2.
6 Conclusion
In this paper, the finite-time anti-synchronization and robust finite-time anti-synchronization for MWCNNs with and without coupling delays have been respectively studied. By making use of Lyapunov functional method as well as inequality techniques, some finite-time anti-synchronization and robust finite-time anti-synchronization conditions have been derived for those network models. Furthermore, we have also considered the finite-time anti-synchronization and robust finite-time anti-synchronization of MWCNNs with switching topology. Finally, several simulation examples have been provided to verified the correctness of our results.
