In this Letter, the conditions ensuring existence, uniqueness of the equilibrium point of Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with variable delays are obtained under more general assumption about activation functions. Applying idea of vector Liapunov function, and M-matrix theory, the sufficient conditions for global exponential stability of Cohen–Grossberg neural networks are obtained. These results generalize a few previous known results and remove some restrictions on the neural networks.     

Global exponential robust stability of reaction–diffusion interval neural networks with time-varying delays

The authors discuss the existence of the equilibrium point and its global exponential robust stability for reaction–diffusion interval neural networks with time-varying delays by means of the topological degree theory and Lyapunov-functional method. Since the diffusion phenomena, time delay and the perturbation due to noises as well as some unforced man-made faults could not be ignored in neural networks, the model presented here is close to the actual systems, and the sufficient conditions on global exponential robust stability established in this Letter, which are easily verifiable, have a wider adaptive range.     

New results on global exponential stability of competitive neural networks with different time scales and time-varying delays

These conditions obtained have important leading significance in the designs and applications of global exponential stability for competitive neural networks. Finally, an example with its simulation is provided to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed criteria.     

Global Lagrange stability for neutral-type inertial neural networks with discrete and distributed time delays

This paper focus on the problem of global Lagrange stability for neutral-type inertial neural networks with discrete and distributed time delays. By choosing a proper variable substitution, an inertial neural network consisting of second-order differential equations can be converted into a first-order differential model. The sufficient conditions of the inertial neural network with neutral delay are derived by constructing suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional candidates, introducing new free weighting matrices, utilizing inequality techniques and analytical method. Through the LMI condition, we analyze the global exponential stability of the delayed inertial neural networks in Lagrange sense. Meanwhile, the global exponential attractive set is also given. Finally, some example is given to illustrate our theoretical results.     

New Stability Criteria for High-Order Neural Networks with Proportional Delays

This paper is concerned with high-order neural networks with proportional delays. The proportional delay is a time-varying unbounded delay which is different from the constant delay, bounded time-varying delay and distributed delay. By the nonlinear transformation yi(t) = ui( et)(i = 1, 2,..., n), we transform a class of high-order neural networks with proportional delays into a class of high-order neural networks with constant delays and timevarying coefficients. With the aid of Brouwer fixed point theorem and constructing the delay differential inequality, we obtain some delay-independent and delay-dependent sufficient conditions to ensure the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of equilibrium of the network. Two examples with their simulations are given to illustrate the theoretical findings. Our results are new and complement previously known results.

Exponential stability of delayed Hopfield neural networks with various activation functions and polytopic uncertainties

This Letter deals with the problem of exponential stability for a class of delayed Hopfield neural networks. Based on augmented parameter-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, new delay-dependent conditions for the global exponential stability are obtained for two cases of time-varying delays: the delays are differentiable and have an upper bound of the delay-derivatives, and the delays are bounded but not necessary to be differentiable. The conditions are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which allow to compute simultaneously two bounds that characterize the exponential stability rate of the solution. Numerical examples are included to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

Stochastic exponential stability of the delayed reaction-diffusion recurrent neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters

Some criteria for the global stochastic exponential stability of the delayed reaction-diffusion recurrent neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters are presented. The jumping parameters considered here are generated from a continuous-time discrete-state homogeneous Markov process, which are governed by a Markov process with discrete and finite state space. By employing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is developed to establish some easy-to-test criteria of global exponential stability in the mean square for the stochastic neural networks. The criteria are computationally efficient, since they are in the forms of some linear matrix inequalities.     

Analysis on global exponential robust stability of reaction-diffusion neural networks with S-type distributed delays

To avoid the unstable phenomena caused by time delays and perturbations, we investigate the sufficient conditions to ensure the global exponential robust stability with a convergence rate for the reaction-diffusion neural networks with S-type distributed delays. Because S-type distributed delays lead to some difficulty, we also introduce a new generalized Halanay inequality and a novel method-system-approximation method into the qualitative research of neural networks. Moreover, the sufficient criteria provided here, which are rather accessible and feasible, have wider adaptive range.     

Delay-dependent exponential stability for neural networks with discrete and distributed time-varying delays

This Letter studies the exponential stability for a class of neural networks (NNs) with both discrete and distributed time-varying delays. Under weaker assumptions on the activation functions, by defining a more general type of Lyapunov functionals and developing a new convex combination technique, new less conservative and less complex stability criteria are established to guarantee the global exponential stability of the discussed NNs. The obtained conditions are dependent on both discrete and distributed delays, are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and contain fewer decision variables. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and the less conservatism of the proposed conditions.
