This study addresses the preassigned-time synchronization for complex-valued memristive neural networks with reaction-diffusion terms and Markov parameters. Employing a preassigned-time stable control strategy, two distinct controllers with varying power exponent parameters are designed to ensure that synchronization can be achieved within a predefined time frame. Unlike existing finite/fixed-time results, a priori specification of the settling time is addressed. Furthermore, Green's formula and boundary conditions are efficiently applied to overcome potential symmetry loss. Additionally, the ...
