Discrete-time recurrent neural networks with time-varying delays: Exponential stability analysis
This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obtained from the link below - Copyright 2007 Elsevier LtdThis Letter is concerned with the analysis problem of exponential stability for a class of discrete-time recurrent neural networks (DRNNs) with time delays. The delay is of the time-varying nature, and the activation functions are assumed to be neither differentiable nor strict monotonic. Furthermore, the description of the activation functions is more general than the recently commonly used Lipschitz conditions. Under such mild conditions, we first prove the existence of the equilibrium point. Then, by employing a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, a unified linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is developed to establish sufficient conditions for the DRNNs to be globally exponentially stable. It is shown that the delayed DRNNs are globally exponentially stable if a certain LMI is solvable, where the feasibility of such an LMI can be easily checked by using the numerically efficient Matlab LMI Toolbox. A simulation example is presented to show the usefulness of the derived LMI-based 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, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany, the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Education Committee of China (05KJB110154), the NSF of Jiangsu Province of China (BK2006064), and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (10471119)
General criteria for asymptotic and exponential stabilities of neural network models with unbounded delays
For a family of differential equations with infinite delay, we give sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic, and global exponential stability of an equilibrium point. This family includes most of the delayed models of neural networks of Cohen-Grossberg type, with both bounded and unbounded distributed delay, for which general asymptotic and exponential stability criteria
are derived. As illustrations, the results are applied to several concrete models studied in the literature, and a comparison of results is given.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) - 2009-ISFL-1-209Universidade do Minho. Centro de Matemática (CMAT
New sufficient criteria for global robust stability of neural networks with multiple time delays
In this paper, we study global robust asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for neural networks with multiple time delays. By employing suitable Lyapunov functionals, we derive a set of delay independent sufficient conditions for global robust asymptotic stability of this class of neural networks. Some examples are constructed to compare the reported results with the related existing results. This comparison proves that our results establish a new set of robust stability criteria for delayed neural networks. It is also demonstrated that the reported results can be easily verified as they can be expressed in terms of the network parameters only.Publisher's Versio
Global asymptotic stability for neural network models with distributed delays
In this paper, we obtain the global asymptotic stability of the zero solution of
a general n-dimensional delayed differential system, by imposing a condition of
dominance of the nondelayed terms which cancels the delayed effect.
We consider several delayed differential systems in general settings, which allow
us to study, as subclasses, the well known neural network models of Hopfield, Cohn-Grossberg, bidirectional associative memory, and static with S-type distributed delays. For these systems, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of a
unique equilibrium and its global asymptotic stability, without using the Lyapunov
functional technique. Our results improve and generalize some existing ones.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT
Stability in N-Layer recurrent neural networks
Starting with the theory developed by Hopfield, Cohen-Grossberg and Kosko, the study of associative memories is extended to N - layer re-current neural networks. The stability of different multilayer networks is demonstrated under specified bounding hypotheses. The analysis involves theorems for the additive as well as the multiplicative models for continuous and discrete N - layer networks. These demonstrations are based on contin-uous and discrete Liapunov theory. The thesis develops autoassociative and heteroassociative memories. It points out the link between all recurrent net-works of this type. The discrete case is analyzed using the threshold signal function as the activation function. A general approach for studying the sta-bility and convergence of the multilayer recurrent networks is developed
Multi-almost periodicity and invariant basins of general neural networks under almost periodic stimuli
In this paper, we investigate convergence dynamics of 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 almost periodic encoded patterns under
two classes of activation functions. By employing the property of
-cone and inequality technique, attracting basins are estimated
and some criteria are derived for the networks to converge exponentially toward
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
Synchronization between Bidirectional Coupled Nonautonomous Delayed Cohen-Grossberg Neural Networks
Based on using suitable Lyapunov function and the properties of M-matrix, sufficient conditions for complete synchronization of bidirectional coupled nonautonomous Cohen-Grossberg neural networks are obtained. The methods for discussing synchronization avoid complicated error system of Cohen-Grossberg neural networks. Two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization method
Boundedness and global exponential stability for delayed differential equations with applications
The boundedness of solutions for a class of n-dimensional differential equations with distributed delays is established by assuming the existence of instantaneous negative feedbacks which dominate the delay effect. As an important by-product, some criteria for global exponential stability of equilibria are obtained. The results are illustrated with applications to delayed neural networks and population dynamics models.POCI 2010CMATFundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) - SFRH/BD/29563/2006CMAFFEDE
