Stochastic memristive quaternion-valued neural networks with time delays: An analysis on mean square exponential input-to-state stability

In this paper, we study the mean-square exponential input-to-state stability (exp-ISS) problem for a new class of neural network (NN) models, i.e., continuous-time stochastic memristive quaternion-valued neural networks (SMQVNNs) with time delays. Firstly, in order to overcome the difficulties posed by non-commutative quaternion multiplication, we decompose the original SMQVNNs into four real-valued models. Secondly, by constructing suitable Lyapunov functional and applying Itoˆ’s formula, Dynkin’s formula as well as inequity techniques, we prove that the considered system model is mean-square exp-ISS. In comparison with the conventional research on stability, we derive a new mean-square exp-ISS criterion for SMQVNNs. The results obtained in this paper are the general case of previously known results in complex and real fields. Finally, a numerical example has been provided to show the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results

Global output feedback stabilization for nonlinear fractional order time delay systems

summary:This paper investigates the problem of global stabilization by state and output-feedback for a family of for nonlinear Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional order time delay systems written in triangular form satisfying linear growth conditions. By constructing a appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop systems is achieved. Moreover, sufficient conditions for the stability, for the particular class of fractional order time-delay system are obtained. Finally, simulation results dealing with typical bioreactor example, are given to illustrate that the proposed design procedures are very efficient and simple

Global Mittag-Leffler stability of Caputo fractional-order fuzzy inertial neural networks with delay

This paper deals with the global Mittag-Leffler stability (GMLS) of Caputo fractional-order fuzzy inertial neural networks with time delay (CFOFINND). Based on Lyapunov stability theory and global fractional Halanay inequalities, the existence of unique equilibrium point and GMLS of CFOFINND have been established. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results

Synchronization analysis of coupled fractional-order neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the complete synchronization and Mittag-Leffler synchronization problems of a kind of coupled fractional-order neural networks with time-varying delays are introduced and studied. First, the sufficient conditions for a controlled system to reach complete synchronization are established by using the Kronecker product technique and Lyapunov direct method under pinning control. Here the pinning controller only needs to control part of the nodes, which can save more resources. To make the system achieve complete synchronization, only the error system is stable. Next, a new adaptive feedback controller is designed, which combines the Razumikhin-type method and Mittag-Leffler stability theory to make the controlled system realize Mittag-Leffler synchronization. The controller has time delays, and the calculation can be simplified by constructing an appropriate auxiliary function. Finally, two numerical examples are given. The simulation process shows that the conditions of the main theorems are not difficult to obtain, and the simulation results confirm the feasibility of the theorems
