Periodic bidirectional associative memory neural networks with distributed delays

Some sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence and global exponential stability of a periodic solution to the general bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with distributed delays by using the continuation theorem of Mawhin's coincidence degree theory and the Lyapunov functional method and the Young's inequality technique. These results are helpful for designing a globally exponentially stable and periodic oscillatory BAM neural network, and the conditions can be easily verified and be applied in practice. An example is also given to illustrate our results.     

Stability analysis for periodic solution of BAM neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations and impulses

In this paper, we present a general class of BAM neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations and impulses. By using the fixed point theorem in differential inclusions theory, we investigate the existence of periodic solution for this neural network. By constructing the suitable Lyapunov function, we give a sufficient condition which ensures the uniqueness and global exponential stability of the periodic solution. The results of this paper show that the Forti’s conjecture is true for BAM neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations and impulses. Further, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results obtained in this paper.

Stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis on a four-neuron BAM neural network with distributed delays

In this paper, a four-neuron BAM neural network with distributed delays is considered, where kernels are chosen as weak kernels. Its dynamics is studied in terms of local stability analysis and Hopf bifurcation analysis. By choosing the average delay as a bifurcation parameter and analyzing the associated characteristic equation, Hopf bifurcation occurs when the bifurcation parameter passes through some exceptive values. The stability of bifurcating periodic solutions and a formula for determining the direction of Hopf bifurcation are determined by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Finally, numerical simulation results are given to validate the theorem obtained.

Functional differential inclusions and dynamic behaviors for memristor-based BAM neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, we formulate and investigate a class of memristor-based BAM neural networks with time-varying delays. Under the framework of Filippov solutions, the viability and dissipativity of solutions for functional differential inclusions and memristive BAM neural networks can be guaranteed by the matrix measure approach and generalized Halanay inequalities. Then, a new method involving the application of set-valued version of Krasnoselskii’ fixed point theorem in a cone is successfully employed to derive the existence of the positive periodic solution. The dynamic analysis in this paper utilizes the theory of set-valued maps and functional differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides of Filippov type. The obtained results extend and improve some previous works on conventional BAM neural networks. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the theoretical results via computer simulations.

Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results. This paper ends with a brief conclusion. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global exponential stability of BAM neural networks with time-varying delays: The discrete-time case

This paper deals with the problem of stability analysis for a class of discrete-time bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with time-varying delays. By employing the Lyapunov functional and linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, a new sufficient conditions is proposed for the global exponential stability of discrete-time BAM neural networks.

Exponential stability preservation in semi-discretisations of BAM networks with nonlinear impulses

This paper demonstrates the reliability of a discrete-time analogue in preserving the exponential convergence of a bidirectional associative memory (BAM) network that is subject to nonlinear impulses. The analogue derived from a semi-discretisation technique with the value of the time-step fixed is treated as a discrete-time dynamical system while its exponential convergence towards an equilibrium state is studied. Thereby, a family of sufficiency conditions governing the network parameters and the impulse magnitude and frequency is obtained for the convergence. As special cases, one can obtain from our results, those corresponding to the non-impulsive discrete-time BAM networks and also those corresponding to continuous-time (impulsive and non-impulsive) systems. A relation between the Lyapunov exponent of the non-impulsive system and that of the impulsive system involving the size of the impulses and the inter-impulse intervals is obtained.
