Robust exponential stability analysis of discrete-time switched Hopfield neural networks with time delay

The robust exponential stability problem in this paper for discrete-time switched Hopfield neural networks with time delay and uncertainty is considered. Firstly, the mathematical model of the system is established. Then by constructing a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, some new delay-dependent criteria are developed, which guarantee the robust exponential stability of discrete-time switched Hopfield neural networks. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the potential and effectiveness of the results obtained.

New delay-dependent global asymptotic stability criteria of delayed Hopfield neural networks

In this paper, the global asymptotic stability of Hopfield neural networks (HNNs) with delays is investigated by utilizing Lyapunov functional method and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. Distinct difference from other analytical approaches lies in “linearization” of the neural network model, by which the considered neural network model is transformed into a linear time-variant system. Then, a process, which is called parameterized first-order model transformation, is used to transform the linear system. Novel criteria for global asymptotic stability of the unique equilibrium point of delayed HNNs are obtained. The results are related to the size of delays. The obtained results are less conservative and restrictive than those established in the earlier references. Two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of our proposed method.

Then we present an example to demonstrate our results.     

Novel robust stability criteria for uncertain stochastic Hopfield neural networks with time-varying delays

The problem of stochastic robust stability of a class of stochastic Hopfield neural networks with time-varying delays and parameter uncertainties is investigated in this paper. The parameter uncertainties are time-varying and norm-bounded. The time-delay factors are unknown and time-varying with known bounds. Based on Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and stochastic analysis approaches, some new stability criteria are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to guarantee the delayed neural network to be robustly stochastically asymptotically stable in the mean square for all admissible uncertainties. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and less conservativeness of the developed techniques.     

Improved results on robust exponential stability criteria for neutral-type delayed neural networks

In this paper, we investigate the problem of robust global exponential stability analysis for a class of neutral-type neural networks. The interval time-varying delays allow for both slow and fast time-varying delays. The values of the time-varying uncertain parameters are assumed to be bounded within given compact sets. Improved global exponential stability condition is derived by employing new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the integral inequality. The developed nominal and robust stability criteria is delay-dependent and characterized by linear-matrix inequalities (LMIs). The developed results are less conservative than previous published ones in the literature, which are illustrated by representative numerical examples.     

Global exponential stability and global attractivity of impulsive Hopfield neural networks with time delays

In this paper, by means of constructing the extended impulsive delayed Halanay inequality and by Lyapunov functional methods, we analyze the global exponential stability and global attractivity of impulsive Hopfield neural networks with time delays. Some new sufficient conditions ensuring exponential stability of the unique equilibrium point of impulsive Hopfield neural networks with time delays are obtained. Those conditions are more feasible than that given in the earlier references to some extent. Some numerical examples are also discussed in this work to illustrate the advantage of the results we obtained.     

Delay-dependent stability criterion for delayed Hopfield neural networks

In this paper, a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is constructed for delayed Hopfield neural networks, and several free-weighting matrices and S-procedure are employed to derive the delay-dependent stability criterion.

A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and less conservativeness of the presented criterion.     

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.     

Mittag-Leffler stability of fractional-order Hopfield neural networks

Fractional-order Hopfield neural networks are often used to model how interacting neurons process information. To show reliability of the processed information, it is needed to perform stability analysis of these systems. Here, we perform Mittag-Leffler stability analysis for them. For this, we extend the second method of Lyapunov in the fractional-order case and establish a useful inequality that can be effectively used to this analysis. Importantly, these general results can help construct Lyapunov functions used to Mittag-Leffler stability analysis of fractional-order Hopfield neural networks. As a result, a set of sufficient conditions is derived to guarantee this stability. In addition, the general results can be easily used to the establishment of stability conditions for achieving complete and quasi synchronization in the coupling case of these networks with constant or time-dependent external inputs. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

For a given delay, the maximal allowable exponential convergence rate will be estimated. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results. The simulation results reveal significant improvement over the recent results.

This condition is less restrictive and conservative than that given in the earlier references. In addition, an example is also provided to illustrate the applicability of the result.
