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.

Stability analysis of Cohen–Grossberg neural network with both time-varying and continuously distributed delays

In this paper, the Cohen–Grossberg neural network model with both time-varying and continuously distributed delays is considered. Without assuming both global Lipschitz conditions on these activation functions and the differentiability on these time-varying delays, applying the idea of vector Lyapunov function, M-matrix theory and inequality technique, several new sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure the existence, uniqueness, and global exponential stability of equilibrium point for Cohen–Grossberg neural network with both time-varying and continuously distributed delays. These results generalize and improve the earlier publications. Two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the obtained results. It is believed that these results are significant and useful for the design and applications of the Cohen–Grossberg neural networks.     

Master-slave synchronization of neural networks with time-varying delays via the event-triggered control

ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the problem of master-slave synchronization of neural networks with time-varying delays via the event-triggered control (ETC). First, the proposed ETC can effectively reduce the total amount of data transmitted to the controller in the synchronization process and avoid communication channel congestion. Second, a master-slave synchronization of neural networks with time-varying delays is constructed, where delays within neural networks and the ETC are simultaneous existence. The controller is updated by the ETC. By the Lyapunov stability theory, some sufficient criteria are obtained to ensure master-slave synchronization of neural networks. Finally, a numerical example and a tunnel diode circuit example are used to verify the validity of results obtained.     

Delay-dependent exponential stability for impulsive Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with time-varying delays and reaction–diffusion terms

In this paper, a class of impulsive Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with time-varying delays and reaction–diffusion is formulated and investigated. By employing delay differential inequality and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization approach, some sufficient conditions ensuring global exponential stability of equilibrium point for impulsive Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with time-varying delays and diffusion are obtained. In particular, the estimate of the exponential convergence rate is also provided, which depends on system parameters, diffusion effect and impulsive disturbed intention. It is believed that these results are significant and useful for the design and applications of Cohen–Grossberg neural networks. An example is given to show the effectiveness of the results obtained here.     

Impulsive controller design for exponential synchronization of chaotic neural networks with mixed delays

This paper considers the chaotic synchronization problem of neural networks with time-varying and distributed delays using impulsive control method. By utilizing the stability theory for impulsive functional differential equations, several impulsive control laws are derived to guarantee the exponential synchronization of neural networks with time-varying and distributed delays. It is shown that chaotic synchronization of the networks is heavily dependent on the designed impulsive controllers. Moreover, these conditions are expressed in terms of LMI and can be easily checked by MATLAB LMI toolbox. Finally, a numerical example and its simulation are given to show the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed control schemes.     

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

In this paper we study the stability for a class of stochastic jumping bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with time-varying and distributed delays. To the best of our knowledge, this class of stochastic jumping BAM neural networks with time-varying and distributed delays has never been investigated in the literature. The main aim of this paper tries to fill the gap. By using the stochastic stability theory, the properties of a Brownian motion, the generalized Ito’s formula and linear matrix inequalities technique, some novel sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the stochastically exponential stability of the trivial solution or zero solution. In particular, the activation functions considered in this paper are fairly general since they may depend on Markovian jump parameters and they are more general than those usual Lipschitz conditions. Also, the derivative of time delays is not necessarily zero or small than 1. In summary, the results obtained in this paper extend and improve those not only with/without noise disturbances, but also with/without Markovian jump parameters. Finally, two interesting examples are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.

Lasalle method and general decay stability of stochastic neural networks with mixed delays

This paper investigates the general decay pathwise stability conditions on a class of stochastic neural networks with mixed delays by applying Lasalle method. The mixed time delays comprise both time-varying delays and infinite distributed delays. The contributions are as follows: (1)?we extend the Lasalle-type theorem to cover stochastic differential equations with mixed delays; (2)?based on the stochastic Lasalle theorem and the M-matrix theory, new criteria of general decay stability, which includes the almost surely exponential stability and the almost surely polynomial stability and the partial stability, for neural networks with mixed delays are established. As an application of our results, this paper also considers a two-dimensional delayed stochastic neural networks model.

In this paper, the asymptotic stability for a class of stochastic neural networks with time-varying delays and impulsive effects are considered. By employing the Lyapunov functional method, combined with linear matrix inequality optimization approach, a new set of sufficient conditions are derived for the asymptotic stability of stochastic delayed recurrent neural networks with impulses. A numerical example is given to show that the proposed result significantly improve the allowable upper bounds of delays over some existing results in the literature.     

Adaptive synchronization under almost every initial data for stochastic neural networks with time-varying delays and distributed delays

This paper is concerned with the adaptive synchronization problem for a class of stochastic delayed neural networks. Based on the LaSalle invariant principle of stochastic differential delay equations and the stochastic analysis theory as well as the adaptive feedback control technique, a linear matrix inequality approach is developed to derive some novel sufficient conditions achieving complete synchronization of unidirectionally coupled stochastic delayed neural networks. In particular, the synchronization criterion considered in this paper is the globally almost surely asymptotic stability of the error dynamical system, which has seldom been applied to investigate the synchronization problem. Moreover, the delays proposed in this paper are time-varying delays and distributed delays, which have rarely been used to study the synchronization problem for coupled stochastic delayed neural networks. Therefore, the results obtained in this paper are more general and useful than those given in the previous literature. Finally, two numerical examples and their simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
