Exponential synchronization for second-order switched quaternion-valued neural networks with neutral-type and mixed time-varying delays

This article focuses on the global exponential synchronization (GES) for second-order state-dependent switched quaternion-valued neural networks (SOSDSQVNNs) with neutral-type and mixed delays. By proposing some new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals (LKFs) and adopting some inequalities, several new criteria in the shape of algebraic inequalities are proposed to ensure the GES for the concerned system by using hybrid switched controllers (HSCs). Different from the common reducing order and separation ways, this article presents some new LKFs to straightway discuss the GES of the concerned system based on non-reduction order and nonseparation strategies. Ultimately, an example is provided to validate the effectiveness of the theoretical outcomes

Global exponential stability conditions for quaternion-valued neural networks with leakage, transmission and distribution delays

This paper studies the global exponential stability problem of quaternion-valued neural networks (QVNNs) with leakage, transmission, and distribution delays. To address this issue, a direct method based on system solutions is proposed to ensure the global exponential stability of the considered network models. In addition, this method does not need to construct any Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, which greatly reduces the amount of computation. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results

Finite-time stabilization for fractional-order inertial neural networks with time varying delays

This paper deals with the finite-time stabilization of fractional-order inertial neural network with varying time-delays (FOINNs). Firstly, by correctly selected variable substitution, the system is transformed into a first-order fractional differential equation. Secondly, by building Lyapunov functionalities and using analytical techniques, as well as new control algorithms (which include the delay-dependent and delay-free controller), novel and effective criteria are established to attain the finite-time stabilization of the addressed system. Finally, two examples are used to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the obtained results

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

New results of global Mittag-Leffler synchronization on Caputo fuzzy delayed inertial neural networks

This article is devoted to discussing the problem of global Mittag-Leffler synchronization (GMLS) for the Caputo-type fractional-order fuzzy delayed inertial neural networks (FOFINNs). First of all, both inertial and fuzzy terms are taken into account in the system. For the sake of reducing the influence caused by the inertia term, the order reduction is achieved by the measure of variable substitution. The introduction of fuzzy terms can evade fuzziness or uncertainty as much as possible. Subsequently, a nonlinear delayed controller is designed to achieve GMLS. Utilizing the inequality techniques, Lyapunov’s direct method for functions and Razumikhin theorem, the criteria for interpreting the GMLS of FOFINNs are established. Particularly, two inferences are presented in two special cases. Additionally, the availability of the acquired results are further confirmed by simulations

Global attractive set of neural networks with neutral item

This paper investigates the global attractive set of neural networks with neutral item. To better deal with the neutral terms, different types of activation functions are considered. Based on matrix measures, inequality techniques, and Lyapunov theory, three new types of Lyapunov functions are designed to find the global attractive set of the system. We give out a simulation example to verify the validity of theory results. The result is very inclusive, whether the system has equilibrium or not. As long as the system is stable, we can find its global attractive set
