Stochastic stability of uncertain Hopfield neural networks with discrete and distributed delays

This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obtained from the link below - Copyright 2006 Elsevier Ltd.This Letter is concerned with the global asymptotic stability analysis problem for a class of uncertain stochastic Hopfield neural networks with discrete and distributed time-delays. By utilizing a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, using the well-known S-procedure and conducting stochastic analysis, we show that the addressed neural networks are robustly, globally, asymptotically stable if a convex optimization problem is feasible. Then, the stability criteria are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be effectively solved by some standard numerical packages. The main results are also extended to the multiple time-delay case. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed global stability condition.This work was supported in part by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK under Grant GR/S27658/01, the Nuffield Foundation of the UK under Grant NAL/00630/G, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany

On asymptotic stability of discrete-time non-autonomous delayed Hopfield neural networks

AbstractIn this paper, we obtain some sufficient conditions for determining the asymptotic stability of discrete-time non-autonomous delayed Hopfield neural networks by utilizing the Lyapunov functional method. An example is given to show the validity of the results

Stochastic stability analysis of fuzzy Hopfield neural networks with time-varying delays

The ordinary Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models have provided an approach to represent complex nonlinear systems to a set of linear sub-models by using fuzzy sets and fuzzy reasoning. In this paper, stochastic fuzzy Hopfield neural networks with time-varying delays (SFVDHNNs) are studied. The model of SFVDHNN is first establisbed as a modified TS fuzzy model in which the consequent parts are composed of a set of stochastic Hopfield neural networks with time-varying delays. Secondly, the global exponential stability in the mean square for SFVDHNN is studied by using the Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach. Stability criterion is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be effectively solved by some standard numerical packages. © 2005 IEEE.published_or_final_versio
