Fractal and Fractional, Volume 6, Issue 7

2022 July - 60 articles

Cover Story: New criteria for the finite-time boundedness and finite-time stability of a class of neural networks of a Caputo fractional order with time delay and uncertain terms are achieved. The obtained results are based on a newly developed property of Caputo fractional derivatives, properties of Mittag–Leffler functions, and Laplace transforms. The new results have applications in numerous problems studied by science and engineering, including fractional-order control problems and sensitivity analyses. View this paper
