Stability and Hopf bifurcation of a delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural network with diffusion

In this paper, a delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural network with diffusion under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions is investigated. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equation, the local stability of the trivial uniform steady state and the existence of Hopf bifurcation at the trivial steady state are established, respectively. By using the normal form theory and the center manifold reduction of partial function differential equations, formulae are derived to determine the direction of bifurcations and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stability criteria for stochastic Takagi‐Sugeno fuzzy Cohen‐Grossberg BAM neural networks with mixed time‐varying delays

This article is concerned with the asymptotic stability analysis of Takagi–Sugeno stochastic fuzzy Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discrete and distributed time‐varying delays. Based on the Lyapunov functional and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the global convergence of the equilibrium point. The proposed conditions can be checked easily by LMI Control Toolbox in Matlab. It has been shown that the results are less restrictive than previously known criteria. They are obtained under mild conditions, assuming neither differentiability nor strict monotonicity for activation function. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our results. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 143–154, 2016     

Global exponential stability in Lagrange sense for recurrent neural networks with time delays

In this paper, we study the global exponential stability in Lagrange sense for continuous recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with multiple time delays. Three different types of activation functions are considered, which include both bounded and unbounded activation functions. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov-like functions, we provide easily verifiable criteria for the boundedness and global exponential attractivity of RNNs. These results can be applied to analyze monostable as well as multistable neural networks.     

Dynamic analysis of Markovian jumping impulsive stochastic Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discrete interval and distributed time-varying delays

In this paper, the dynamic analysis problem is considered for a new class of Markovian jumping impulsive stochastic Cohen–Grossberg neural networks (CGNNs) with discrete interval and distributed delays. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be norm bounded and the discrete delay is assumed to be time-varying and belonging to a given interval, which means that the lower and upper bounds of interval time-varying delays are available. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and stochastic stability theory, delay-interval dependent stability criteria are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Some asymptotic stability criteria are formulated by means of the feasibility of a linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can be easily calculated by LMI Toolbox in Matlab. A numerical example is provided to show that the proposed results significantly improve the allowable upper bounds of delays over some existing results in the literature.     

Stability analysis of Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations

In this paper, we consider the dynamical behavior of delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous activation functions. Some sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the existence, uniqueness and global stability of the equilibrium point of the neural network. Convergence behavior for both state and output is discussed. The constraints imposed on the interconnection matrices, which concern the theory of M-matrices, are easily verifiable and independent of the delay parameter. The obtained results improve and extend the previous results. Finally, we give an numerical example to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

Nonlinear measure approach for the robust exponential stability analysis of interval inertial Cohen–Grossberg neural networks

This article is concerned with the existence and robust stability of an equilibrium point that related to interval inertial Cohen–Grossberg neural networks. Such condition requires the existence of an equilibrium point to a given system, so the existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium point are emerged via nonlinear measure method. Furthermore, with the help of Halanay inequality lemma, differential mean value theorem as well as inequality technique, several sufficient criteria are derived to ascertain the robust stability of the equilibrium point for the addressed system. The results obtained in this article will be shown to be new and they can be considered alternative results to previously results. Finally, the effectiveness and computational issues of the two models for the analysis are discussed by two examples. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 459–469, 2016

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.     

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.     

General criteria for asymptotic and exponential stabilities of neural network models with unbounded delays

For a family of differential equations with infinite delay, we give sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic, and global exponential stability of an equilibrium point. This family includes most of the delayed models of neural networks of Cohen-Grossberg type, with both bounded and unbounded distributed delay, for which general asymptotic and exponential stability criteria are derived. As illustrations, the results are applied to several concrete models studied in the literature, and a comparison of results is given.

The global asymptotic stability of discrete-time Cohen–Grossberg neural networks (CGNNs) with or without time delays is studied in this paper. The CGNNs are transformed into discrete-time interval systems, and several sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability for these interval systems are derived by constructing some suitable Lyapunov functionals. The conditions obtained are given in the form of linear matrix inequalities that can be checked numerically and very efficiently by using the MATLAB LMI Control Toolbox. Finally, some illustrative numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results obtained.

Robust stability analysis of static neural network with S-type distributed delays

In this paper, we investigate local robust stability of static neural network (SNN) with S-type distributed delays. We derive some new sufficient conditions for local robust stability of equilibrium points and estimate attracting domains of equilibrium points except isolated equilibrium points. Our results not only show local robust stability of equilibrium points but also allow much broader application for static neural network with or without delays. It is shown that our results are new and improve corresponding results existing in the previous literature.     

Stability and bifurcation analysis for a neural network model with discrete and distributed delays

In this paper, a two‐neuron network with both discrete and distributed delays is considered. With the corresponding characteristic equation analyzed, the local stability of the trivial equilibrium is investigated. With the discrete time delay taken as a bifurcation parameter, the existence of Hopf bifurcation is established. Moreover, formulae for determining the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are derived. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results and further to exhibit that there is a characteristic sequence of bifurcations leading to a chaotic dynamics, which implies that the system admits rich and complex dynamics.
