Global asymptotic stability of stochastic BAM neural networks with distributed delays and reaction-diffusion terms

This paper is concerned with global asymptotic stability of a class of reaction-diffusion stochastic Bi-directional Associative Memory (BAM) neural networks with discrete and distributed delays. Based on suitable assumptions, we apply the linear matrix inequality (LMI) method to propose some new sufficient stability conditions for reaction-diffusion stochastic BAM neural networks with discrete and distributed delays. The obtained results are easy to check and improve upon the existing stability results. An example is also given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.     

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.     

An LMI approach to stability analysis of stochastic high-order Markovian jumping neural networks with mixed time delays

This paper deals with the problem of global exponential stability for a general class of stochastic high-order neural networks with mixed time delays and Markovian jumping parameters. The mixed time delays under consideration comprise both discrete time-varying delays and distributed time-delays. The main purpose of this paper is to establish easily verifiable conditions under which the delayed high-order stochastic jumping neural network is exponentially stable in the mean square in the presence of both mixed time delays and Markovian switching. By employing a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and conducting stochastic analysis, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is developed to derive the criteria ensuring exponential stability. Furthermore, the criteria are dependent on both the discrete time-delay and distributed time-delay, and hence less conservative. The proposed criteria can be readily checked by using some standard numerical packages such as the Matlab LMI Toolbox. A simple example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed testing criteria.     

Stability analysis of fuzzy Markovian jumping Cohen–Grossberg BAM neural networks with mixed time-varying delays

In this paper, we investigate the robust stability of uncertain fuzzy Markovian jumping Cohen–Grossberg BAM neural networks with discrete and distributed time-varying delays.

Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, upper bounds for the discrete and distributed delays are calculated using the LMI toolbox in MATLAB. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

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.     

Existence and global exponential stability of periodic solution for impulsive Cohen-Grossberg-type BAM neural networks with continuously distributed delays

This paper is concerned with the existence and global exponential stability of periodic solution for a class of impulsive Cohen-Grossberg-type BAM neural networks with continuously distributed delays. Some sufficient conditions ensuring the existence and global exponential stability of periodic solution are derived by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function and a new differential inequality. The proposed method can also be applied to study the impulsive Cohen-Grossberg-type BAM neural networks with finite distributed delays. The results in this paper extend and improve the earlier publications. Finally, two examples with numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the obtained results.     

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.

Global asymptotic stability of BAM fuzzy cellular neural networks with time delay in the leakage term,discrete and unbounded distributed delays

In this article, a class of bidirectional associative memory (BAM) fuzzy cellular neural networks (FCNNs) with time delay in the leakage term, discrete and unbounded distributed delays is formulated to study the global asymptotic stability. This approach is based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional with free-weighting matrices. Using linear matrix inequality (LMI), a new set of stability criteria for BAM FCNNs with time delay in the leakage term, discrete and unbounded distributed delays is obtained. Also, the stability behavior of BAM FCNNs is very sensitive to the time delay in the leakage term. In the absence of a leakage term, a new stability criteria is also derived by employing a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and using the LMI approach. Our results establish a new set of stability criteria for BAM FCNNs with discrete and unbounded distributed delays. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed techniques.     

Global asymptotic stability of stochastic fuzzy cellular neural networks with multiple discrete and distributed time-varying delays

In this paper, the Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model representation is extended to the stability analysis for stochastic cellular neural networks with multiple discrete and distributed time varying delays. A novel linear matrix inequality (LMI) based stability criterion is derived to guarantee the asymptotic stability of stochastic cellular neural networks with multiple discrete and distributed time varying delays which are represented by T–S fuzzy models. The derived delay-dependent stability conditions are based on free-weighting matrices method, Lyapunov stability theory and LMI technique. In fact, these techniques lead to generalized and less conservative stability condition that guarantee the wide stability region. The delay-dependent stability condition is formulated, in which the restriction of the derivative of the time-varying delay is removed. Our results can be specialized to several cases including those studied extensively in the literature. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and conservativeness of our results.

First, we derive the passivity condition for stochastic fuzzy BAM neural networks with time varying delays and then the result is extended to the case with uncertainties. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and conservatism of the obtained results.     

Adaptive synchronization for stochastic competitive neural networks with mixed time-varying delays

This paper deals with the synchronization problem for competitive neural networks with different time scales, as well as mixed time-varying delays (both discrete and distributed time-varying delays) and stochastic disturbance. By using stochastic analysis approaches and constructing a novel Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, an adaptive feedback controller is proposed to guarantee the exponential synchronization of proposed competitive neural networks in terms of p-norm. The synchronization results presented in this paper generalize and improve many known results. This paper also presents an illustrative example and uses simulated results of this example to show the feasibility and effectiveness of the theoretical results.
