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.     

A new criterion to global exponential stability for impulsive neural networks with continuously distributed delays

This paper considers the global exponential stability and exponential convergence rate of impulsive neural networks with continuously distributed delays in which the state variables on the impulses are related to the unbounded distributed delays. By establishing a new impulsive delay differential inequality, a new criterion concerning global exponential stability for these networks is derived, and the estimated exponential convergence rate is also obtained. The result extends and improves on earlier publications. In addition, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the applicability of the result. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

An analysis on existence and global exponential stability of periodic solutions for BAM neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the problem on periodic solutions of the bidirectional associative memory neural networks with both periodic coefficients and periodic time-varying delays is discussed.
