On the validity of memristor modeling in the neural network literature
An analysis of the literature shows that there are two types of
non-memristive models that have been widely used in the modeling of so-called
"memristive" neural networks. Here, we demonstrate that such models have
nothing in common with the concept of memristive elements: they describe either
non-linear resistors or certain bi-state systems, which all are devices without
memory. Therefore, the results presented in a significant number of
publications are at least questionable, if not completely irrelevant to the
actual field of memristive neural networks
Exponential multistability of memristive Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with stochastic parameter perturbations
© 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 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
Recent Advances and Applications of Fractional-Order Neural Networks
This paper focuses on the growth, development, and future of various forms of fractional-order neural networks. Multiple advances in structure, learning algorithms, and methods have been critically investigated and summarized. This also includes the recent trends in the dynamics of various fractional-order neural networks. The multiple forms of fractional-order neural networks considered in this study are Hopfield, cellular, memristive, complex, and quaternion-valued based networks. Further, the application of fractional-order neural networks in various computational fields such as system identification, control, optimization, and stability have been critically analyzed and discussed
Finite-time Anti-synchronization of Memristive Stochastic BAM Neural Networks with Probabilistic Time-varying Delays
This paper investigates the drive-response finite-time anti-synchronization for memristive bidirectional associative memory neural networks (MBAMNNs). Firstly, a class of MBAMNNs with mixed probabilistic time-varying delays and stochastic perturbations is first formulated and analyzed in this paper. Secondly, an nonlinear control law is constructed and utilized to guarantee drive-response finite-time anti-synchronization of the neural networks. Thirdly, by employing some inequality technique and constructing an appropriate Lyapunov function, some anti-synchronization criteria are derived. Finally, a number simulation is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism
Global exponential synchronization of quaternion-valued memristive neural networks with time delays
This paper extends the memristive neural networks (MNNs) to quaternion field, a new class of neural networks named quaternion-valued memristive neural networks (QVMNNs) is then established, and the problem of drive-response global synchronization of this type of networks is investigated in this paper. Two cases are taken into consideration: one is with the conventional differential inclusion assumption, the other without. Criteria for the global synchronization of these two cases are achieved respectively by appropriately choosing the Lyapunov functional and applying some inequality techniques. Finally, corresponding simulation examples are presented to demonstrate the correctness of the proposed results derived in this paper
Toward bio-inspired information processing with networks of nano-scale switching elements
Unconventional computing explores multi-scale platforms connecting
molecular-scale devices into networks for the development of scalable
neuromorphic architectures, often based on new materials and components with
new functionalities. We review some work investigating the functionalities of
locally connected networks of different types of switching elements as
computational substrates. In particular, we discuss reservoir computing with
networks of nonlinear nanoscale components. In usual neuromorphic paradigms,
the network synaptic weights are adjusted as a result of a training/learning
process. In reservoir computing, the non-linear network acts as a dynamical
system mixing and spreading the input signals over a large state space, and
only a readout layer is trained. We illustrate the most important concepts with
a few examples, featuring memristor networks with time-dependent and history
dependent resistances

investigated. An illustrative example is provided.Comment: 24 pages, 1 figur
