Global exponential periodicity of nonlinear neural networks with multiple time-varying delays

Global exponential periodicity of nonlinear neural networks with multiple time-varying delays is investigated. Such neural networks cannot be written in the vector-matrix form because of the existence of the multiple delays. It is noted that although the neural network with multiple time-varying delays has been investigated by Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method in the literature, the sufficient conditions in the linear matrix inequality form have not been obtained. Two sets of sufficient conditions in the linear matrix inequality form are established by Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and linear matrix inequality to ensure that two arbitrary solutions of the neural network with multiple delays attract each other exponentially. This is a key prerequisite to prove the existence, uniqueness, and global exponential stability of periodic solutions. Some examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the established results. We compare the established theoretical results with the previous results and show that the previous results are not applicable to the systems in these examples

Nonlinear Systems

Open Mathematics is a challenging notion for theoretical modeling, technical analysis, and numerical simulation in physics and mathematics, as well as in many other fields, as highly correlated nonlinear phenomena, evolving over a large range of time scales and length scales, control the underlying systems and processes in their spatiotemporal evolution. Indeed, available data, be they physical, biological, or financial, and technologically complex systems and stochastic systems, such as mechanical or electronic devices, can be managed from the same conceptual approach, both analytically and through computer simulation, using effective nonlinear dynamics methods. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight papers that show the dynamics, control, optimization and applications of nonlinear systems. This has recently become an increasingly popular subject, with impressive growth concerning applications in engineering, economics, biology, and medicine, and can be considered a veritable contribution to the literature. Original papers relating to the objective presented above are especially welcome subjects. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Stability analysis of discrete and continuous dynamical systems; Nonlinear dynamics in biological complex systems; Stability and stabilization of stochastic systems; Mathematical models in statistics and probability; Synchronization of oscillators and chaotic systems; Optimization methods of complex systems; Reliability modeling and system optimization; Computation and control over networked systems

Exponential multistability of memristive Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with stochastic parameter perturbations

This manuscript is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Licence http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/.Due to instability being induced easily by parameter disturbances of network systems, this paper investigates the multistability of memristive Cohen-Grossberg neural networks (MCGNNs) under stochastic parameter perturbations. It is demonstrated that stable equilibrium points of MCGNNs can be flexibly located in the odd-sequence or even-sequence regions. Some sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the exponential multistability of MCGNNs under parameter perturbations. It is found that there exist at least (w+2) l (or (w+1) l) exponentially stable equilibrium points in the odd-sequence (or the even-sequence) regions. In the paper, two numerical examples are given to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the obtained results.Peer reviewe

A fixed point approach towards stability of delay differential equations with applications to neural networks

This thesis studies asymptotic behavior and stability of determinsitic and stochastic delay differential equations. The approach used in this thesis is based on fixed point theory, which does not resort to any Liapunov function or Liapunov functional. The main contribution of this thesis is to study the approach using fixed point theory in a systematic way and to unify recent results in the literature by considering some general classes of equations. The equation we considered is a combination of time dependent delays, distributed delays, impulses and stochastic perturbations. In addition, an application to stochastic delayed neural networks is investigated. The results in this thesis extend and improve some exist results in the literature in some ways. Examples are discussed in each chapter to illustrate our main results.UBL - phd migration 201
