Global Mittag—Leffler Synchronization for Neural Networks Modeled by Impulsive Caputo Fractional Differential Equations with Distributed Delays

The synchronization problem for impulsive fractional-order neural networks with both time-varying bounded and distributed delays is studied. We study the case when the neural networks and the fractional derivatives of all neurons depend significantly on the moments of impulses and we consider both t...
