Positive almost periodicity on SICNNs incorporating mixed delays and D operator
This article involves a kind of shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks incorporating D operator and mixed delays. First of all, we demonstrate that, under appropriate external input conditions, some positive solutions of the addressed system exist globally. Secondly, with the help of the differential inequality techniques and exploiting Lyapunov functional approach, some criteria are established to evidence the globally exponential stability on the positive almost periodic solutions. Eventually, a numerical case is provided to test and verify the correctness and reliability of the proposed findings
Mean almost periodicity and moment exponential stability of discrete-time stochastic shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with time delays
summary:By using the semi-discrete method of differential equations, a new version of discrete analogue of stochastic shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks (SICNNs) is formulated, which gives a more accurate characterization for continuous-time stochastic SICNNs than that by Euler scheme. Firstly, the existence of the 2th mean almost periodic sequence solution of the discrete-time stochastic SICNNs is investigated with the help of Minkowski inequality, Hölder inequality and Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem. Secondly, the moment global exponential stability of the discrete-time stochastic SICNNs is also studied by using some analytical skills and the proof of contradiction. Finally, two examples are given to demonstrate that our results are feasible. By numerical simulations, we discuss the effect of stochastic perturbation on the almost periodicity and global exponential stability of the discrete-time stochastic SICNNs
On the Weighted Pseudo Almost Periodic Solutions of Nicholson’s Blowflies Equation
This study is concerned with the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of weighted pseudo almost periodic solutions of a generalized Nicholson’s blowflies equation with mixed delays. Using some differential inequalities and a fixed point theorem, sufficient conditions were obtained for the existence, uniqueness of at the least a weighted pseudo almost periodic solutions and global exponential stability of this solution. The results of this study are new and complementary to the previous ones can be found in the literature. At the end of the study an example is given to show the accuracy of our results
Stability and Existence of Periodic Solutions for Cellular Neural Networks with State Dependent Delays on Time Scales
We study delayed cellular neural networks on time scales. Without assuming the boundedness of the activation functions, we establish the exponential stability and existence of periodic solutions. The results in this paper are completely new even in case of the time scale =ℝ or ℤ and improve some of the previously known results
A Moving Bump in a Continuous Manifold: A Comprehensive Study of the Tracking Dynamics of Continuous Attractor Neural Networks
Understanding how the dynamics of a neural network is shaped by the network
structure, and consequently how the network structure facilitates the functions
implemented by the neural system, is at the core of using mathematical models
to elucidate brain functions. This study investigates the tracking dynamics of
continuous attractor neural networks (CANNs). Due to the translational
invariance of neuronal recurrent interactions, CANNs can hold a continuous
family of stationary states. They form a continuous manifold in which the
neural system is neutrally stable. We systematically explore how this property
facilitates the tracking performance of a CANN, which is believed to have clear
correspondence with brain functions. By using the wave functions of the quantum
harmonic oscillator as the basis, we demonstrate how the dynamics of a CANN is
decomposed into different motion modes, corresponding to distortions in the
amplitude, position, width or skewness of the network state. We then develop a
perturbative approach that utilizes the dominating movement of the network's
stationary states in the state space. This method allows us to approximate the
network dynamics up to an arbitrary accuracy depending on the order of
perturbation used. We quantify the distortions of a Gaussian bump during
tracking, and study their effects on the tracking performance. Results are
obtained on the maximum speed for a moving stimulus to be trackable and the
reaction time for the network to catch up with an abrupt change in the
stimulus.Comment: 43 pages, 10 figure
