Global exponential stability of impulsive discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays

This paper studies the problem of global exponential stability and exponential convergence rate for a class of impulsive discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays. Firstly, by means of the Lyapunov stability theory, some inequality analysis techniques and a discrete-time Halanay-type inequality technique, sufficient conditions for ensuring global exponential stability of discrete-time neural networks are derived, and the estimated exponential convergence rate is provided as well. The obtained results are then applied to derive global exponential stability criteria and exponential convergence rate of impulsive discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays. Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and usefulness of the obtained criteria.

Novel global robust exponential stability criterion for uncertain BAM neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the global robust exponential stability for a class of delayed BAM neural networks with norm-bounded uncertainty is studied. Some less conservative conditions are presented for the global exponential stability of BAM neural networks with time-varying delays by constructing a new class of Lyapunov functionals combined with free-weighting matrices. This novel approach, based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, removes some existing restrictions on the system’s parameters, and the derived conditions are easy to verify via the LMI toolbox. Comparisons between our results and previous results admit that our results establish a new set of stability criteria for delayed BAM neural networks.

Exponential stability for stochastic reaction-diffusion BAM neural networks with time-varying and distributed delays

In this paper we study the stability for a class of stochastic bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with reaction-diffusion and mixed delays. The mixed delays considered in this paper are time-varying and distributed delays. Based on a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the Poincaré inequality as well as stochastic analysis theory, a set of novel sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the stochastically exponential stability of the trivial solution or zero solution. The obtained results show that the reaction-diffusion term does contribute to the exponentially stabilization of the considered system. Moreover, two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results. This paper ends with a brief conclusion. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
