Additionally, the algorithm incorporates integral terms with multiple coupling delays, mitigating the impact of multiple coupling delays in the network. By adopting the Lyapunov functional method, fixed-time stability theory, and key inequality techniques, the fixed-time output synchronization (OS) criterion is derived, and the settling time is obtained, which avoids the defect of relying on the initial value of the system. Concurrently, a corollary states that the fixed-time OS can be reached for MWRDNNs without output coupling delays through a node-based adaptive adjustment scheme.
