Nonlinear dynamics of full-range CNNs with time-varying delays and variable coefficients

In the article, the dynamical behaviours of the full-range cellular neural networks (FRCNNs) with variable coefficients and time-varying delays are considered. Firstly, the improved model of the FRCNNs is proposed, and the existence and uniqueness of the solution are studied by means of differential inclusions and set-valued analysis. Secondly, by using the Hardy inequality, the matrix analysis, and the Lyapunov functional method, we get some criteria for achieving the globally exponential stability (GES). Finally, some examples are provided to verify the correctness of the theoretical results

Boundedness and stability for Cohen–Grossberg neural network with time-varying delays

AbstractIn this paper, a model is considered to describe the dynamics of Cohen–Grossberg neural network with variable coefficients and time-varying delays. Uniformly ultimate boundedness and uniform boundedness are studied for the model by utilizing the Hardy inequality. Combining with the Halanay inequality and the Lyapunov functional method, some new sufficient conditions are derived for the model to be globally exponentially stable. The activation functions are not assumed to be differentiable or strictly increasing. Moreover, no assumption on the symmetry of the connection matrices is necessary. These criteria are important in signal processing and the design of networks

ψ-type stability of reaction–diffusion neural networks with time-varying discrete delays and bounded distributed delays

In this paper, the ψ-type stability and robust ψ-type stability for reaction–diffusion neural networks (RDNNs) with Dirichlet boundary conditions, time-varying discrete delays and bounded distributed delays are investigated, respectively. Firstly, we analyze the ψ-type stability and robust ψ-type stability of RDNNs with time-varying discrete delays by means of ψ-type functions combined with some inequality techniques, and put forward several ψ-type stability criteria for the considered networks. Additionally, the models of RDNNs with bounded distributed delays are established and some sufficient conditions to guarantee the ψ-type stability and robust ψ-type stability are given. Lastly, two examples are provided to confirm the effectiveness of the derived results
