Robust passivity analysis of fuzzy Cohen-Grossberg BAM neural networks with time-varying delays

This paper is concerned with the problem of passivity analysis for a class of Cohen-Grossberg fuzzy bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with time varying delay. By employing the delay fractioning technique and linear matrix inequality optimization approach, delay dependent passivity criteria are established that guarantees the passivity of fuzzy Cohen-Grossberg BAM neural networks with uncertainties. The passivity condition is expressed in terms of LMIs, which can be easily solved by various convex optimization algorithms. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed result.     

Stability and bifurcation of a Cohen-Grossberg neural network with discrete delays

A Cohen-Grossberg neural network with discrete delays is investigated in this paper. The qualitative analysis is given for the system and it is found that the system undergoes a sequence of Hopf bifurcations by choosing the discrete time delay as a bifurcation parameter. Moreover, by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem, the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are obtained. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the obtained results.

Stationary oscillation for high-order Hopfield neural networks with time delays and impulses

We investigate stationary oscillation for high-order Hopfield neural networks with time delays and impulses. In a recent paper [J. Zhang, Z. J. Gui, Existence and stability of periodic solutions of high-order Hopfield neural networks with impulses and delays, Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics 224 (2008) 602-613], the authors claim that they obtain a criterion of existence, uniqueness, and global exponential stability of periodic solution (i.e. stationary oscillation) for high-order Hopfield neural networks with time delays and impulses. In this paper, we point out that the main result of the recent paper is unture, and present a new sufficient condition of stationary oscillation for the neural networks. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained result.     

Existence and global exponential stability of almost periodic solution for quaternion-valued high-order Hopfield neural networks with delays via a direct method

This paper deals with the existence and global exponential stability of almost periodic solutions for quaternion-valued high-order Hopfield neural networks with delays by a direct approach. Based on the contraction mapping principle, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the existence and uniqueness of almost periodic solutions for the networks under consideration. By constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, the global exponential stability criterion of the almost periodic solution are derived. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the main results of this paper.     

Attracting and invariant sets of impulsive delay Cohen-Grossberg neural networks

In this paper, a class of impulsive delay Cohen-Grossberg neural networks (IDCGNNs) is investigated. By applying a nonlinear delay differential inequality with removing some restrictions on the amplification functions, some new and useful sufficient conditions ensuring the existence of global attracting and invariant sets for IDCGNNs are obtained. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.     

Dynamics of high-order BAM neural networks with and without impulses

The main aim of this paper is to study the existence and global exponential stability of periodic solution for high-order bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with and without impulses. Easily verifiable sufficient conditions are established. The method is based on coincidence degree theory as well as a priori estimates and Lyapunov functional. It is shown that the convergence characteristics of periodic solution for the impulsive system are preserved by the corresponding nonimpulsive system with some restriction imposed on the impulse effect. Numerical simulation results are given to support the theoretical predictions.     

Approximation on attraction domain of Cohen-Grossberg neural networks

In this paper, approximations of attraction domains of the asymptotically stable equilibrium points of some typical Cohen-Grossberg neural networks are achieved. Most Cohen-Grossberg neural networks are highly nonlinear systems which makes it difficult to approximate their attraction domain. Under some weak assumptions, we are allowed to employ the optimal Lyapunov method to obtain a Lyapunov function for asymptotically stable equilibrium points of a given Cohen-Grossberg neural network. With the help of this Lyapunov function, we approximate the corresponding attraction domain by the iterative expansion approach. Numerical simulations also illustrate that the approximation obtained is really part of the attraction domain.     

Robust exponential stability of discrete‐time uncertain impulsive neural networks with time‐varying delay

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the robust exponential stability of discrete‐time uncertain impulsive neural networks with time‐varying delay. By using Lyapunov functions together with Razumikhin technique, some new robust exponential stability criteria are presented. The obtained results show that the robust stability can be retained under certain impulsive perturbations for the neural network, which has the robust stability property. The obtained results also show that impulses can robustly stabilize the neural network, which does not have the robust stability property. Some examples, together with their simulations, are also given to show the effectiveness and the advantage of the presented results. It should be noted that the impulsive robust exponential stabilization result for discrete‐time neural network with time‐varying delay is given for the first time.

Global attractivity of Cohen-Grossberg model with finite and infinite delays

In this paper, we have studied the global attractivity of the equilibrium of Cohen-Grossberg model with both finite and infinite delays. Criteria for global attractivity are also derived by means of Lyapunov functionals. As a corollary, we show that if the delayed system is dissipative and the coefficient matrix is VL-stable, then the global attractivity of the unique equilibrium is maintained provided the delays are small. Estimates on the allowable sizes of delays are also given. Applications to the Hopfield neural networks with discrete delays are included.

This paper is to study the existence and attractivity of almost periodic solution for Hopfield-Type delay cellular neural networks(HDCNNs) with variable coefficientsby combining the theory of the exponential dichotomy and Lyapunov functionals method and combine with some analysis techniques. We obtain some sufficient conditions to ensure the networks to have a unique almost periodic solution, and all other solutions converge to this solution.     

Dynamical behaviors of fuzzy reaction–diffusion periodic cellular neural networks with variable coefficients and delays

When modeling neural networks in a real world, not only diffusion effect and fuzziness cannot be avoided, but also self-inhibitions, interconnection weights, and inputs should vary as time varies. In this paper, we discuss the dynamical behaviors of delayed reaction–diffusion fuzzy cellular neural networks with varying periodic self-inhibitions, interconnection weights as well as inputs. By using Halanay’s delay differential inequality, M$M$-matrix theory and analytic methods, some new sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure the existence, uniqueness, and global exponential stability of the periodic solution, and the exponentially convergent rate index is also estimated. In particular, the traditional assumption on the differentiability of the time-varying delays is no longer needed. The methodology developed in this paper is shown to be simple and effective for the exponential periodicity and stability analysis of neural networks with time-varying delays. Two examples are given to show the usefulness of the obtained results that are less restrictive than recently known criteria.

These results do not require the symmetry of the connection matrix and the monotonicity, boundedness and differentiability of the activation function.     

Dynamics of bidirectional associative memory networks with distributed delays and reaction–diffusion terms

In this paper, the periodic oscillatory solution and stability are investigated for a class of bidirectional associative memory neural networks with distributed delays and reaction–diffusion terms. By constructing a new Lyapunov functional, applying M-matrix theory and inequality technique, several novel sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the existence and uniqueness of periodic oscillatory solutions for bidirectional associative memory neural networks with distributed delays and reaction–diffusion terms, and all other solutions of this network converge exponentially to the unique periodic oscillatory solution. Moreover, the exponential convergence rate is estimated, which depends on the delay kernel functions and the system parameters. Two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the obtained results. The results extend and improve the previously known results.

General nonlinear difference equations with time‐varying delays are considered. Explicit criteria for contraction of such equations are presented.

Furthermore, explicit criteria for existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of periodic solutions are derived. Finally, the obtained results are applied to time‐varying discrete‐time neural networks with delay.
