Projection equations arise in several optimization problems and possess significant applications in many areas of science and engineering. In this paper, we propose a fractional-order projection neural network to solve quadratic programming problems. We study stability and synchronization for a class of delayed projection neural networks of mixed type via impulsive control. Using concepts of fractional calculus, we investigate the existence of solution and study its global asymptotic stability. Moreover, we propose an effective impulsive control scheme to achieve synchronization for the system. We demonstrate the validity and transient behaviour of the proposed neural network with the help of suitable examples.
