This paper discusses a generalized model of high-order Hopfield-type neural networks with time-varying delays. Some novel global stability criteria of the system is derived by using Lyapunov method, linear matrix inequality (LMI) and analytic technique. The LMI-based criteria obtained here are computationally more flexible and more generic than many other existing criteria. A numerical example is given to illustrate our result.

This paper investigates the Lagrange global exponential stability of the quaternion-valued memristive neural networks (QVMNNs). Two kinds of activation functions based on different assumptions are considered. Then, based on the Lyapunov function approach, decomposition method, and some inequality skills, two novel sufficient conditions for lagrange stability of QVMNNs are provided corresponding to different types of activation functions. Lastly, simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the correctness of our theoretical results.     

Stability in impulsive Cohen-Grossberg-type BAM neural networks with distributed delays

In this paper, a class of impulsive Cohen-Grossberg-type bi-directional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with distributed delays is investigated. By establishing an integro-differential inequality with impulsive initial conditions and employing the homeomorphism theory, the M-matrix theory and inequality technique, some new general sufficient conditions ensuring the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of equilibrium point for impulsive Cohen-Grossberg-type BAM neural networks with distributed delays are obtained. 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.     

Stability analysis of memristor‐based complex‐valued recurrent neural networks with time delays

This article addresses stability analysis of a general class of memristor‐based complex‐valued recurrent neural networks (MCVNNs) with time delays. Some sufficient conditions to guarantee the boundedness on a compact set that globally attracts all trajectories of the MCVNNs are obtained by utilizing local inhibition. Moreover, some sufficient conditions for exponential stability and the global stability of the MCVNNs are established with the help of local invariant sets and linear matrix inequalities using Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional. The analysis results in the article, based on the results from the theory of differential equations with discontinuous right‐hand sides as introduced by Filippov. Finally, two numerical examples are also presented to show the effectiveness and usefulness of our theoretical results. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 14–39, 2016     

Exponential stability of positive neural networks in bidirectional associative memory model with delays

This paper is concerned with the problem of exponential stability of positive neural networks in bidirectional associative memory (BAM) model with multiple time‐varying delays and nonlinear self‐excitation rates. On the basis of a systematic approach involving extended comparison techniques via differential inequalities, we first prove the positivity of state trajectories initializing from a positive cone called the admissible set of initial conditions. In combination with the use of Brouwer's fixed point theorem and M‐matrix theory, we then derive conditions for the existence and global exponential stability of a unique positive equilibrium of the model. An extension to the case of BAM neural networks with proportional delays is also presented. The effectiveness of the obtained results is illustrated by a numerical example with simulations.     

Stability results for stochastic delayed recurrent neural networks with discrete and distributed delays

We present new conditions for asymptotic stability and exponential stability of a class of stochastic recurrent neural networks with discrete and distributed time varying delays. Our approach is based on the method using fixed point theory, which do not resort to any Liapunov function or Liapunov functional. Our results neither require the boundedness, monotonicity and differentiability of the activation functions nor differentiability of the time varying delays. In particular, a class of neural networks without stochastic perturbations is also considered. Examples are given to illustrate our main results.

Two remarks were also worked out to demonstrate the advantage of our results.

Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

On exponential stability analysis for neural networks with time-varying delays and general activation functions

This paper is concerned with the exponential stability analysis for a class of cellular neural networks with both interval time-varying delays and general activation functions. The boundedness assumption of the activation function is not required. The limitation on the derivative of time delay being less than one is relaxed and the lower bound of time-varying delay is not restricted to be zero. A new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional involving more information on the state variables is established to derive a novel exponential stability criterion. The obtained condition shows potential advantages over the existing ones since no useful item is ignored throughout the estimate of upper bound of the derivative of Lyapunov functional. Finally, three numerical examples are included to illustrate the proposed design procedures and applications.

Furthermore, two different kinds of sufficient principles are derived to guarantee the exponential stability of BAM neural networks. Finally, a numerical example is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the theoretical results.

High-symmetry Hopfield-type neural networks

We study the set of fixed points of a Hopfield-type neural network with a connection matrix constructed from a high-symmetry set of memorized patterns using the Hebb rule. The memorized patterns depending on an external parameter are interpreted as distorted copies of a vector standard to be learned by the network. The dependence of the fixed-point set of the network on the distortion parameter is described analytically. The investigation results are interpreted in terms of neural networks and the Ising model.
