Impulsive control of nonlinear systems with impulse time window and bounded gain error
In this paper, we establish a new sufficient condition for the stability of impulsive systems with impulse time window and bounded gain error. The proposed result is more general and more applicable than some existing results. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of our result
Global Synchronization of Neutral-Type Stochastic Delayed Complex Networks
This paper is concerned with the delay-dependent synchronization criterion for neutral-type stochastic delayed complex networks. Firstly, expectations of stochastic crossterms containing the ItĂ´ integral are investigated. In fact, for stochastic delay systems, if we want to obtain the delay-dependent condition with less conservatism, how to deal with expectations of stochastic cross terms properly is of vital importance, and many existing results did not deal with expectations of these stochastic cross terms correctly. Then, based on this, this paper establishes a novel delay-dependent synchronization criterion for neutral-type stochastic delayed complex networks. In the derivation process, the mathematical development avoids bounding stochastic cross terms. Thus, this method shows less conservatism. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach

This paper investigates the problem of pth moment exponential stability for a class of stochastic neural networks with time-varying delays and distributed delays under nonlinear impulsive perturbations. By means of Lyapunov functionals, stochastic analysis and differential inequality technique, criteria on pth moment exponential stability of
this model are derived. The results of this paper are completely new and complement
and improve some of the previously known results (Stamova and Ilarionov (2010), Zhang et al. (2005), Li (2010), Ahmed and Stamova (2008), Huang et al. (2008), Huang et al. (2008), and Stamova (2009)). An example is employed to illustrate our feasible results
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

Internal Representation of Task Rules by Recurrent Dynamics: The Importance of the Diversity of Neural Responses
Neural activity of behaving animals, especially in the prefrontal cortex, is highly heterogeneous, with selective responses to diverse aspects of the executed task. We propose a general model of recurrent neural networks that perform complex rule-based tasks, and we show that the diversity of neuronal responses plays a fundamental role when the behavioral responses are context-dependent. Specifically, we found that when the inner mental states encoding the task rules are represented by stable patterns of neural activity (attractors of the neural dynamics), the neurons must be selective for combinations of sensory stimuli and inner mental states. Such mixed selectivity is easily obtained by neurons that connect with random synaptic strengths both to the recurrent network and to neurons encoding sensory inputs. The number of randomly connected neurons needed to solve a task is on average only three times as large as the number of neurons needed in a network designed ad hoc. Moreover, the number of needed neurons grows only linearly with the number of task-relevant events and mental states, provided that each neuron responds to a large proportion of events (dense/distributed coding). A biologically realistic implementation of the model captures several aspects of the activity recorded from monkeys performing context-dependent tasks. Our findings explain the importance of the diversity of neural responses and provide us with simple and general principles for designing attractor neural networks that perform complex computation
The hardware implementation of an artificial neural network using stochastic pulse rate encoding principles
In this thesis the development of a hardware artificial neuron device and artificial neural network using stochastic pulse rate encoding principles is considered. After a review of neural network architectures and algorithmic approaches suitable for hardware implementation, a critical review of hardware techniques which have been considered in analogue and digital systems is presented. New results are presented demonstrating the potential of two learning schemes which adapt by the use of a single reinforcement signal. The techniques for computation using stochastic pulse rate encoding are presented and extended with new novel circuits relevant to the hardware implementation of an artificial neural network. The generation of random numbers is the key to the encoding of data into the stochastic pulse rate domain. The formation of random numbers and multiple random bit sequences from a single PRBS generator have been investigated. Two techniques, Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithms, have been applied successfully to the problem of optimising the configuration of a PRBS random number generator for the formation of multiple random bit sequences and hence random numbers. A complete hardware design for an artificial neuron using stochastic pulse rate encoded signals has been described, designed, simulated, fabricated and tested before configuration of the device into a network to perform simple test problems. The implementation has shown that the processing elements of the artificial neuron are small and simple, but that there can be a significant overhead for the encoding of information into the stochastic pulse rate domain. The stochastic artificial neuron has the capability of on-line weight adaption. The implementation of reinforcement schemes using the stochastic neuron as a basic element are discussed

Spontaneous and stimulus-induced coherent states of critically balanced neuronal networks
How the information microscopically processed by individual neurons is
integrated and used in organizing the behavior of an animal is a central
question in neuroscience. The coherence of neuronal dynamics over different
scales has been suggested as a clue to the mechanisms underlying this
integration. Balanced excitation and inhibition may amplify microscopic
fluctuations to a macroscopic level, thus providing a mechanism for generating
coherent multiscale dynamics. Previous theories of brain dynamics, however,
were restricted to cases in which inhibition dominated excitation and
suppressed fluctuations in the macroscopic population activity. In the present
study, we investigate the dynamics of neuronal networks at a critical point
between excitation-dominant and inhibition-dominant states. In these networks,
the microscopic fluctuations are amplified by the strong excitation and
inhibition to drive the macroscopic dynamics, while the macroscopic dynamics
determine the statistics of the microscopic fluctuations. Developing a novel
type of mean-field theory applicable to this class of interscale interactions,
we show that the amplification mechanism generates spontaneous, irregular
macroscopic rhythms similar to those observed in the brain. Through the same
mechanism, microscopic inputs to a small number of neurons effectively entrain
the dynamics of the whole network. These network dynamics undergo a
probabilistic transition to a coherent state, as the magnitude of either the
balanced excitation and inhibition or the external inputs is increased. Our
mean-field theory successfully predicts the behavior of this model.
Furthermore, we numerically demonstrate that the coherent dynamics can be used
for state-dependent read-out of information from the network. These results
show a novel form of neuronal information processing that connects neuronal
dynamics on different scales.Comment: 20 pages 12 figures (main text) + 23 pages 6 figures (Appendix); Some
