Robust stability of uncertain fuzzy Cohen–Grossberg BAM neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model representation is extended to the stability analysis for uncertain Cohen–Grossberg type bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with time-varying delays using linear matrix inequality (LMI) theory. A novel LMI-based stability criterion is obtained by using LMI optimization algorithms to guarantee the asymptotic stability of uncertain Cohen–Grossberg BAM neural networks with time varying delays which are represented by TS fuzzy models. Finally, the proposed stability conditions are demonstrated with numerical examples.

Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

Globally asymptotic stability of a class of neutral-type neural networks with delays.

Several stability conditions for a class of systems with retarded-type delays are presented in the literature. However, no results have yet been presented for neural networks with neutral-type delays. Accordingly, this correspondence investigates the globally asymptotic stability of a class of neutral-type neural networks with delays. This class of systems includes Hopfield neural networks, cellular neural networks, and Cohen-Grossberg neural networks. Based on the Lyapunov stability method, two delay-independent sufficient stability conditions are derived. These stability conditions are easily checked and can be derived from the connection matrix and the network parameters without the requirement for any assumptions regarding the symmetry of the interconnections. Two illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed stability criteria.

Global asymptotic stability of neural networks with transmission delays

The problem of stability of the equilibrium of a class of neural networks with transmission delays is studied using the Lyapunov functional method and combining with the method of inequality analysis. Some sufficient conditions for global asymptotic stability of neural networks with transmission delays, which do not require symmetry of the connection matrix and nonlinear properties for neural units to be continuously differentiable or strictly monotonic increasing, are obtained. These conditions can be used to design globally stable networks and thus have important significance in both theory and applications. In addition, we give some examples to illustrate the main results.     

Dynamical analysis of uncertain neural networks with multiple time delays

This paper investigates the robust stability problem for dynamical neural networks in the presence of time delays and norm-bounded parameter uncertainties with respect to the class of non-decreasing, non-linear activation functions. By employing the Lyapunov stability and homeomorphism mapping theorems together, a new delay-independent sufficient condition is obtained for the existence, uniqueness and global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for the delayed uncertain neural networks. The condition obtained for robust stability establishes a matrix–norm relationship between the network parameters of the neural system, which can be easily verified by using properties of the class of the positive definite matrices. Some constructive numerical examples are presented to show the applicability of the obtained result and its advantages over the previously published corresponding literature results.

Stochastic stability for uncertain genetic regulatory networks with interval time-varying delays

This paper is concerned with the robust asymptotic stability analysis for uncertain genetic regulatory networks with both interval time-varying delays and stochastic noise. By using the stochastic analysis approach, employing some free-weighting matrices and introducing an appropriate type of Lyapunov functional which takes into account the ranges of delays, some new delay-range-dependent and rate-dependent stability criteria are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to guarantee the delayed genetic regulatory networks to be robustly asymptotically stable in the mean square. As a result, the new criteria are applicable to both fast and slow time-varying delays. Five numerical examples are also used to demonstrate the usefulness of the main results and less conservativeness of the proposed method.     

State Estimation of Quaternion-Valued Neural Networks with Leakage Time Delay and Mixed Two Additive Time-Varying Delays

In this paper, the state estimation of quaternion-valued neural networks (QVNNs) with leakage time delay, both discrete and distributed two additive time-varying delays is studied. By considering the QVNNs as a whole, instead of decomposing it into two complex-valued neural networks or four real-valued neural networks. Via constructing suitable Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals, combining free weight matrix, reciprocally convex approach, and matrix inequalities, the sufficient criteria for time delays are given in the form of quaternion-valued linear matrix inequalities and complex-valued linear matrix inequalities. Some observable output measurements are used to estimate the state of neurons, which ensures the global asymptotic stability of the error-state system. Finally, the effectiveness of theoretical analysis is illustrated by a numerical simulation.

Delay-dependent robust stability analysis of uncertain stochastic neural networks with discrete interval and distributed time-varying delays

This paper is concerned with stability analysis problem for uncertain stochastic neural networks with discrete interval and distributed time-varying delays. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be norm bounded and the delay is assumed to be time-varying and belong to a given interval, which means that the lower and upper bounds of interval time-varying delays are available. Based on the new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and stochastic stability theory, delay-interval dependent stability criteria are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Some numerical examples and comparisons are provided to show that the proposed results significantly improve the allowable upper and lower bounds of delays over some existing results in the literature. Furthermore, the supplementary requirement that the time derivative of discrete time-varying delays must be smaller than the value one is not necessary to derive the results in this paper.     

New stability criteria for neutral-type Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discrete and distributed delays

This paper studies the existence, uniqueness and globally robust exponential stability for a class of uncertain neutral-type Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with time-varying and unbounded distributed delays. Based on Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, by involving a free-weighting matrix, using the homeomorphism mapping principle, Cauchy–Schwarz inequality, Jensen integral inequality, linear matrix inequality techniques and matrix decomposition method, several delay-dependent and delay-independent sufficient conditions are obtained for the robust exponential stability of considered neural networks. Two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of our results.     

Global robust asymptotic stability analysis of uncertain switched Hopfield neural networks with time delay in the leakage term

This paper deals with the problem of delay-dependent global robust asymptotic stability of uncertain switched Hopfield neural networks (USHNNs) with discrete interval and distributed time-varying delays and time delay in the leakage term. Some Lyapunov––Krasovskii functionals are constructed and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach are employed to derive some delay-dependent global robust stability criteria which guarantee the global robust asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for all admissible parametric uncertainties. The proposed results that do not require the boundedness, differentiability, and monotonicity of the activation functions. Moreover, the stability behavior of USHNNs is very sensitive to the time delay in the leakage term. It can be easily checked via the LMI control toolbox in Matlab. In the absence of leakage delay, the results obtained are also new results. Finally, nine numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed results.

The results are shown to be generalizations of some previously published results and are less conservative than existing results. The present results are also applied to recurrent neural networks with constant time delays.
