Resilient fixed-time stabilization of switched neural networks subjected to impulsive deception attacks

This article focuses on the resilient fixed-time stabilization of switched neural networks (SNNs) under impulsive deception attacks. A novel theorem for the fixed-time stability of impulsive systems is established by virtue of the comparison principle. Existing fixed-time stability theorems for impulsive systems assume that the impulsive strength is not greater than 1, while the proposed theorem removes this assumption. SNNs subjected to impulsive deception attacks are modeled as impulsive systems. Some sufficient criteria are derived to ensure the stabilization of SNNs in fixed time. The estimation of the upper bound for the settling time is also given. The influence of impulsive attacks on the convergence time is discussed. A numerical example and an application to Chua's circuit system are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
