This paper considers the finite-time synchronization (FTS) of coupled neural networks (CNNs) with parameter uncertainties. Based on the adaptive periodically intermittent control method and the finite-time stability theory, some sufficient conditions are derived to achieve synchronization within a finite time. Both the models of CNNs with/without delays are considered and the corresponding upper-bounds of synchronization time are estimated as well. Finally, two illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the theoretical results. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
