Effects of Time-Varying Impulses on Exponential Stability of Inertial BAM Neural Network with Mixed Time-Varying Delays

The present article is investigating the effects of time-varying impulses on exponential stability to a unique equilibrium point of inertial BAM neural networks with mixed time-varying delays. A suitable variable transformation is chosen to transform the original system into the system of first order differential equation. The fixed point theory of homeomorphism has been implemented to find the distributed delay-dependent sufficient condition which assured the system has a unique equilibrium point. In order to study the impulsive effects on stability problems, the time-varying impulses including stabilizing and destabilizing impulses are considered with the transformed system. Based on the matrix measure approach and the extended impulsive differential inequality for a time-varying delayed system, we have derived sufficient criteria in matrix measure form which ensure the exponential stability of the system towards an equilibrium point for two classes of activation functions. Further, different convergence rates of the system’s trajectories have been discussed for the cases of time-varying stabilizing and destabilizing impulses using the concept of an average impulsive interval. Finally, the efficiency of the theoretical results has been illustrated by providing two numerical examples

Stability analysis of impulsive stochastic Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with mixed time delays

This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obtained from the link - Copyright 2008 Elsevier LtdIn this paper, the problem of stability analysis for a class of impulsive stochastic Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with mixed delays is considered. The mixed time delays comprise both the time-varying and infinite distributed delays. By employing a combination of the M-matrix theory and stochastic analysis technique, a sufficient condition is obtained to ensure the existence, uniqueness, and exponential p-stability of the equilibrium point for the addressed impulsive stochastic Cohen–Grossberg neural network with mixed delays. The proposed method, which does not make use of the Lyapunov functional, is shown to be simple yet effective for analyzing the stability of impulsive or stochastic neural networks with variable and/or distributed delays. We then extend our main results to the case where the parameters contain interval uncertainties. Moreover, the exponential convergence rate index is estimated, which depends on the system parameters. An example is given to show the effectiveness of the obtained results.This work was supported by the Natural Science Foundation of CQ CSTC under grant 2007BB0430, the Scientific Research Fund of Chongqing Municipal Education Commission under Grant KJ070401, 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

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

Dynamical Analysis for High-Order Delayed Hopfield Neural Networks with Impulses

The global exponential stability and uniform stability of the equilibrium point for high-order delayed Hopfield neural networks with impulses are studied. By utilizing Lyapunov functional method, the quality of negative definite matrix, and the linear matrix inequality approach, some new stability criteria for such system are derived. The results are related to the size of delays and impulses. Two examples are also given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results

Fixed-time control of delayed neural networks with impulsive perturbations

This paper is concerned with the fixed-time stability of delayed neural networks with impulsive perturbations. By means of inequality analysis technique and Lyapunov function method, some novel fixed-time stability criteria for the addressed neural networks are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The settling time can be estimated without depending on any initial conditions but only on the designed controllers. In addition, two different controllers are designed for the impulsive delayed neural networks. Moreover, each controller involves three parts, in which each part has different role in the stabilization of the addressed neural networks. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis
