In this paper, we propose a novel class of networks named as quaternion-valued inertial memristor-based neural networks (QVIMNNs) by introducing inertial term and memristor into traditional quaternion-valued neural networks (QVNNs). The problem of fixed-time synchronization of the QVIMNNs is investigated based on the variable transformation and Lyapunov functional method. It is shown that two types of activation functions are considered and a novel criteria guaranteeing fixed-time synchronization for each cases are then achieved by designing different types of controllers. This paper attempts to pave a new way to investigate neural networks classes with numerical simulations support to demonstrate the correctness of the obtained results.
