Stability and periodicity in delayed cellular neural networks with impulsive effects

In the paper, the global exponential stability and periodicity are investigated for delayed cellular neural networks with impulsive effects. Some sufficient conditions are derived for checking the global exponential stability and the existence of periodic solution for this system based on Halanay inequality, mathematical induction and fixed point theorem. The criteria given are easily verifiable, possess many adjustable parameters, and depend on impulses, which provides flexibility for the design and analysis of delayed cellular neural networks with impulses.     

General criteria for asymptotic and exponential stabilities of neural network models with unbounded delays

For a family of differential equations with infinite delay, we give sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic, and global exponential stability of an equilibrium point.

As illustrations, the results are applied to several concrete models studied in the literature, and a comparison of results is given.

New results for global stability of a class of neutral-type neural systems with time delays

This paper studies the global convergence properties of a class of neutral-type neural networks with discrete time delays. This class of neutral systems includes Cohen–Grossberg neural networks, Hopfield neural networks and cellular neural networks. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorems, some delay independent sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for this class of neutral-type systems are derived. It is shown that the results presented in this paper for neutral-type delayed neural networks are the generalization of a recently reported stability result. A numerical example is also given to demonstrate the applicability of our proposed stability criteria.     

Global Exponential Stability in Discrete-time Analogues of Delayed Cellular Neural Networks

A novel method called semi-discretization is employed in the formulation of discrete-time analogues of nonlinear delayed differential equations modelling cellular neural networks. The dynamical characteristics of the discrete-time analogues are studied. When the network parameters satisfy certain sufficient conditions which are independent of the delays, the discrete-time analogues for any choice on the discretization step-size are shown to be globally exponentially stable. The sufficient conditions are obtained by employing an appropriate form of Lyapunov sequences and these conditions correspond to those which have been obtained in the literature for the global exponential stability of continuous-time delayed cellular neural networks. Several examples and computer simulations are given to support our results and to demonstrate some of the advantages of the discrete-time analogues in numerically simulating their continuous-time counterparts.     

Neural networks with discrete and distributed time-varying delays: A general stability analysis

In this paper, the global asymptotic and exponential stability are investigated for a class of neural networks with both the discrete and distributed time-varying delays. By using appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, several delay-dependent sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the global asymptotic and exponential stability of the addressed neural networks. These conditions are expressed in terms of LMIs, and are dependent on both the discrete and distributed time delays. Therefore, the stability of the neural networks can be checked readily by resorting to the Matlab LMI toolbox. In addition, the proposed stability criteria do not require the monotonicity of the activation functions and the differentiability of the discrete and distributed time-varying delays, which means that our results generalize and further improve those in the earlier publications. A simulation example is given to show the effectiveness and less conservatism of the obtained conditions.     

Exponential stability and periodicity of cellular neural networks with time delay

This paper investigates the problem of exponential stability and periodicity for a class of delayed cellular neural networks (DCNN’s). By dividing the network state variables into subgroups according to the characters of the neural networks, some sufficient conditions for exponential stability and periodicity are derived via constructing Lyapunov functional. Those conditions suitable are associated with some initial value and are represented by some blocks of the interconnection matrix. Two examples are discussed to illustrate the main results.     

Global robust stability of interval cellular neural networks with time-varying delays

This paper studies the global robust asymptotic stability (GRAS) and global robust exponential stability (GRES) of delayed cellular neural networks with time-varying delays.

Several previous results are improved and generalized. Some examples and remarks are also given to illustrate the effectiveness of the results. In addition, these criteria possess important leading significance in design and applications of global stable DCNNs, and are of great interest in many applications.

Improved global exponential stability criteria of cellular neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium point and stability of the cellular neural networks (CNNs) with time-varying delays are analyzed and proved. Several global exponential stability conditions of the neural networks are obtained by the delay differential inequality and matrix measures approach. The obtained results are extensions of the earlier literature. The approach used in this paper is also suitable for delayed Hopfield neural networks and delayed bi-directional associative memory neural networks whose activation functions are often nondifferentiable or unbounded. Two simulation examples in comparison to previous results in literature are shown to check the theory in this paper.
