Abstract This paper investigates the global asymptotical synchronization of two nonidentical complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) with leakage delay and time-varying delays via integral sliding mode control approach. A suitable sliding surface and an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional are constructed. By using free-weighting matrix method combined with inequality technique, a sliding mode controller is designed to ensure the synchronization for the considered CVNNs. The obtained criterion is presented in the form of complex-valued linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which could be calculated through YALMIP with solver of SDPT3 in MATLAB. An example is provided to demonstrate the obtained theoretical result.
