Stability analysis of Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations

In this paper, we consider the dynamical behavior of delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous activation functions. Some sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the existence, uniqueness and global stability of the equilibrium point of the neural network. Convergence behavior for both state and output is discussed. The constraints imposed on the interconnection matrices, which concern the theory of M-matrices, are easily verifiable and independent of the delay parameter. The obtained results improve and extend the previous results. Finally, we give an numerical example to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

In this paper, the global exponential stability and periodicity are investigated for a class generalized high-order neural networks with time delays and impulses; some sufficient conditions are derived for checking the global exponential stability and existence of periodic solutions for this system using the generalized Halanay inequality, mathematical induction and a fixed point theorem. The criteria given are easily verified and possess many adjustable parameters, which provides flexibility for the design and analysis of the system. Finally, an example with numerical simulation is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method and results.

Finally, we present some applications and numerical examples with simulations to show the effectiveness of our main results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stability analysis for periodic solution of neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations

In this paper, we present a general class of neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations and varying coefficients, where the neuron activation function is a discontinuous monotone increasing and bounded function. By using the fixed point theorem in differential inclusion theory and constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, a condition is derived which ensures the existence and global exponential stability of a unique periodic solution for the neural network. Furthermore, under certain conditions global convergence in finite time of the state is investigated. The obtained results show that Forti’s conjecture for neural networks without delays is true. Finally, two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results obtained in this paper.

In particular, the estimate of the exponential convergence rate is also provided, which depends on the system parameters and impulsive disturbed intension. An example is given to show the effectiveness of the results obtained here.

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.

Dynamical behavior of delayed Hopfield neural networks with discontinuous activations

In this paper, a general class of neural networks with arbitrary constant delays is studied, whose neuron activations are discontinuous and may be unbounded or nonmonotonic. Based on the Leray–Schauder alternative principle and generalized Lyapunov approach, conditions are given under which there is a unique equilibrium of the neural network, which is globally asymptotically stable. Moreover, the existence and global asymptotic stability of periodic solutions are derived, where the neuron inputs are periodic. The obtained results extend previous works not only on delayed neural networks with Lipschitz continuous neuron activations, but also on delayed neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations.

Using M-matrix and topological degree tool, sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of the equilibrium point of bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with distributed delays and subjected to impulsive state displacements at fixed instants of time by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional. The results remove the usual assumptions that the boundedness, monotonicity, and differentiability of the activation functions. It is shown that in some cases, the stability criteria can be easily checked. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the effectiveness of the presented criteria.     

Dynamical behaviors of a class of recurrent neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations

This paper investigates the dynamics of a class of recurrent neural networks where the neural activations are modeled by discontinuous functions. Without presuming the boundedness of activation functions, the sufficient conditions to ensure the existence, uniqueness, global exponential stability and global convergence of state equilibrium point and output equilibrium point are derived, respectively. Furthermore, under certain conditions we prove that the system is convergent globally in finite time. The analysis in the paper is based on the properties of M-matrix, Lyapunov-like approach, and the theories of differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side as introduced by Filippov. The obtained results extend previous works on global stability of recurrent neural networks with not only Lipschitz continuous but also discontinuous neural activation functions.     

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.
