Global exponential convergence analysis of delayed cellular neural networks

Some sufficient criteria have been established to ensure the global exponential stability of delayed cellular neural networks by using an approach based on delay differential inequality. Compared with the method of Lyapunov functionals as in most previous studies, our method is simpler and more effective for a stability analysis of delayed system. Some previously established results in the literature are shown to be special cases of the present result.     

Global exponential stability of reaction diffusion neural networks with discrete and distributed time-varying delays

This paper investigates the global exponential stability of reaction-diffusion neural networks with discrete and distributed time-varying delays.By constructing a more general type of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional combined with a free-weighting matrix approach and analysis techniques,delay-dependent exponential stability criteria are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities.The obtained results are dependent on the size of the time-varying delays and the measure of the space,which are usually less conservative than delay-independent and space-independent ones.These results are easy to check,and improve upon the existing stability results.Some remarks are given to show the advantages of the obtained results over the previous results.A numerical example has been presented to show the usefulness of the derived linear matrix inequality(LMI)-based stability conditions.

In this paper, we have improved delay-dependent stability criteria for recurrent neural networks with a delay varying over a range and Markovian jumping parameters.

In addition, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the applicability of the result using the linear matrix inequality toolbox in MATLAB.

Design of exponential state estimators for neural networks with mixed time delays

In this Letter, the state estimation problem is dealt with for a class of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with mixed discrete and distributed delays. The activation functions are assumed to be neither monotonic, nor differentiable, nor bounded. We aim at designing a state estimator to estimate the neuron states, through available output measurements, such that the dynamics of the estimation error is globally exponentially stable in the presence of mixed time delays. By using the Laypunov–Krasovskii functional, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is developed to establish sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of the state estimators. We show that both the existence conditions and the explicit expression of the desired estimator can be characterized in terms of the solution to an LMI. A simulation example is exploited to show the usefulness of the derived LMI-based stability conditions.

Global exponential robust stability of reaction–diffusion interval neural networks with time-varying delays

The authors discuss the existence of the equilibrium point and its global exponential robust stability for reaction–diffusion interval neural networks with time-varying delays by means of the topological degree theory and Lyapunov-functional method. Since the diffusion phenomena, time delay and the perturbation due to noises as well as some unforced man-made faults could not be ignored in neural networks, the model presented here is close to the actual systems, and the sufficient conditions on global exponential robust stability established in this Letter, which are easily verifiable, have a wider adaptive range.

In this work, the stability issues of the equilibrium points of the cellular neural networks with multiple time delays and impulsive effects are investigated.

A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

Stochastic exponential stability of the delayed reaction-diffusion recurrent neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters

Some criteria for the global stochastic exponential stability of the delayed reaction-diffusion recurrent neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters are presented. The jumping parameters considered here are generated from a continuous-time discrete-state homogeneous Markov process, which are governed by a Markov process with discrete and finite state space. By employing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is developed to establish some easy-to-test criteria of global exponential stability in the mean square for the stochastic neural networks. The criteria are computationally efficient, since they are in the forms of some linear matrix inequalities.

Global impulsive exponential synchronization of stochastic perturbed chaotic delayed neural networks

In this paper, the global impulsive exponential synchronization problem of a class of chaotic delayed neural networks (DNNs) with stochastic perturbation is studied. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, stochastic analysis approach and an efficient impulsive delay differential inequality, some new exponential synchronization criteria expressed in the form of the linear matrix inequality (LMI) are derived. The designed impulsive controller not only can globally exponentially stabilize the error dynamics in mean square, but also can control the exponential synchronization rate. Furthermore, to estimate the stable region of the synchronization error dynamics, a novel optimization control algorithm is proposed, which can deal with the minimum problem with two nonlinear terms coexisting in LMIs effectively. Simulation results finally demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Synchronization of stochastically hybrid coupled neural networks with coupling discrete and distributed time-varying delays

A general model of linearly stochastically coupled identical connected neural networks with hybrid coupling is proposed, which is composed of constant coupling, coupling discrete time-varying delay and coupling distributed timevarying delay. All the coupling terms are subjected to stochastic disturbances described in terms of Brownian motion, which reflects a more realistic dynamical behaviour of coupled systems in practice. Based on a simple adaptive feedback controller and stochastic stability theory, several sufficient criteria are presented to ensure the synchronization of linearly stochastically coupled complex networks with coupling mixed time-varying delays. Finally, numerical simulations illustrated by scale-free complex networks verify the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.
