This paper deals with the global asymptotic stability problem for Hopfield neural networks with time-varying delays. By resorting to the integral inequality and constructing a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a novel delay-dependent condition is established to guarantee the existence and global asymptotic stability of the unique equilibrium point for a given delayed Hopfield neural network. This criterion is expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）, which can be easily checked by utilizing the recently developed algorithms for solving LMIs. Examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and reduced conservatism of the proposed condition.

Improved asymptotic stability conditions for neural networks with discrete and distributed delays

This paper considers the asymptotic stability problem for a class of neural networks with discrete and distributed delays. Based on a new augmented Lyapunov functional and integral inequalities, the new asymptotic stability condition is established in terms of linear matrix inequality. Meanwhile, the importance of some augmented terms in the Lyapunov functional are discussed. Compared with previous methods to deal with the distributed delay, our method is less conservative due to the use of the new Lyapunov functional. Finally, numerical examples illustrate the relaxation of obtained results and our claims.     

Finite-time stability of neutral-type neural networks with random time-varying delays

This paper is devoted to the finite-time stability analysis of neutral-type neural networks with random time-varying delays. The randomly time-varying delays are characterised by Bernoulli stochastic variable. This result can be extended to analysis and design for neutral-type neural networks with random time-varying delays. On the basis of this paper, we constructed suitable Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional together and established a set of sufficient linear matrix inequalities approach to guarantee the finite-time stability of the system concerned. By employing the Jensen's inequality, free-weighting matrix method and Wirtinger's double integral inequality, the proposed conditions are derived and two numerical examples are addressed for the effectiveness of the developed techniques.     

Global exponential stability in Lagrange sense for neutral type recurrent neural networks

In this paper, the global exponential stability in Lagrange sense for continuous neutral type recurrent neural networks (NRNNs) with multiple time delays is studied. Three different types of activation functions are considered, including general bounded and two types of sigmoid activation functions. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions, some easily verifiable criteria for the ultimate boundedness and global exponential attractivity of NRNNs are obtained. These results can be applied to monostable and multistable neural networks as well as chaos control and chaos synchronization.     

Delay-distribution-dependent stability of stochastic discrete-time neural networks with randomly mixed time-varying delays

In this paper, the stability analysis problem for a new class of discrete-time neural networks with randomly discrete and distributed time-varying delays has been investigated. Compared with the previous work, the distributed delay is assumed to be time-varying. Moreover, the effects of both variation range and probability distribution of mixed time-delays are taken into consideration in the proposed approach. The distributed time-varying delays and coupling term in complex networks are considered by introducing two Bernoulli stochastic variables. By using some novel analysis techniques and Lyapunov–Krasovskii function, some delay-distribution-dependent conditions are derived to ensure that the discrete-time complex network with randomly coupling term and distributed time-varying delay is synchronized in mean square. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and the applicability of the proposed method.     

Novel delay-dependent stability condition for mixed delayed stochastic neural networks with leakage delay signals

In this paper, the problem of stability condition for mixed delayed stochastic neural networks with neutral delay and leakage delay is investigated. A novel Lyapunov functional is constructed with double and triple integral terms. New sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the global asymptotic stability of the concerned neural network. This paper is more general than the paper by Zhu et al. [Robust stability of Markovian jump stochastic neural networks with time delays in the leakage terms, Neural Process. Lett. 41 (2015), pp. 1–27]. In our paper, we considered both the neutral delay and leakage delay, but the paper by Zhu et al. is not considering the neutral delay. Also we employed triple integrals in the Lyapunov functional which is not used in the paper by Zhu et al. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

State estimation for discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delay

This article deals with the problem of delay-dependent state estimation for discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delay. Our objective is to design a state estimator for the neuron states through available output measurements such that the error state system is guaranteed to be globally exponentially stable. Based on the linear matrix inequality approach, a delay-dependent condition is developed for the existence of the desired state estimator via a novel Lyapunov functional. The obtained condition has less conservativeness than the existing ones, which is demonstrated by a numerical example.
