Mean-Square Exponential Stability Analysis of Stochastic Neural Networks with Time-Varying Delays via Fixed Point Method

This work addresses the stability study for stochastic cellular neural networks with time-varying delays. By utilizing the new research technique of the fixed point theory, we find some new and concise sufficient conditions ensuring the existence and uniqueness as well as mean-square global exponential stability of the solution. The presented algebraic stability criteria are easily checked and do not require the differentiability of delays. The paper is finally ended with an example to show the effectiveness of the obtained results

Periodic Solutions for Shunting Inhibitory Cellular Neural Networks of Neutral Type with Time-Varying Delays in the Leakage Term on Time Scales

A class of shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks of neutral type with time-varying delays in the leakage term on time scales is proposed. Based on the exponential dichotomy of linear dynamic equations on time scales, fixed point theorems, and calculus on time scales we obtain some sufficient conditions for the existence and global exponential stability of periodic solutions for that class of neural networks. The results of this paper are completely new and complementary to the previously known results even if the time scale =ℝ or ℤ. Moreover, we present illustrative numerical examples to show the feasibility of our results

Existence and Global Exponential Stability of Almost Periodic Solutions for SICNNs with Nonlinear Behaved Functions and Mixed Delays

By using the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem and differential inequality techniques, several new sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence and global exponential stability of almost periodic solutions for shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with discrete and distributed delays. The model in this paper possesses two characters: nonlinear behaved functions and all coefficients are time varying. Hence, our model is general and applicable to many known models. Moreover, our main results are also general and can be easily deduced to many simple cases, including some existing results. An example and its simulation are employed to illustrate our feasible results

Multi-almost periodicity and invariant basins of general neural networks under almost periodic stimuli

In this paper, we investigate convergence dynamics of $2^N$ almost periodic encoded patterns of general neural networks (GNNs) subjected to external almost periodic stimuli, including almost periodic delays. Invariant regions are established for the existence of $2^N$ almost periodic encoded patterns under two classes of activation functions. By employing the property of $\mathscr{M}$-cone and inequality technique, attracting basins are estimated and some criteria are derived for the networks to converge exponentially toward $2^N$ almost periodic encoded patterns. The obtained results are new, they extend and generalize the corresponding results existing in previous literature.Comment: 28 pages, 4 figure

A delay-dependent LMI approach to dynamics analysis of discrete-time recurrent neural networks with time-varying delays

This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obtained from the link below - Copyright 2007 Elsevier Ltd.In this Letter, the analysis problem for the existence and stability of periodic solutions is investigated for a class of general discrete-time recurrent neural networks with time-varying delays. For the neural networks under study, a generalized activation function is considered, and the traditional assumptions on the boundedness, monotony and differentiability of the activation functions are removed. By employing the latest free-weighting matrix method, an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is constructed and several sufficient conditions are established to ensure the existence, uniqueness, and globally exponential stability of the periodic solution for the addressed neural network. The conditions are dependent on both the lower bound and upper bound of the time-varying time delays. Furthermore, the conditions are expressed in terms of the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be checked numerically using the effective LMI toolbox in MATLAB. Two simulation examples are given to show the effectiveness and less conservatism of the proposed criteria.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 50608072, an International Joint Project sponsored by the Royal Society of the UK and the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
