The problem of H∞ exponential synchronization for switched cellular neural networks that are subjected to multiple exogenous disturbances is investigated. The exogenous disturbances are rejected and attenuated by combining disturbance observer-based control with H∞ control. Based on the admissible edge-dependent average dwell time scheme and the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional technique, a synchronization criterion formulated by linear matrix inequalities is procured for switched cellular neural networks with external disturbances. Finally, the effectiveness of the obtained results is verified through a numerical simulation.
