Improved exponential stability criteria for recurrent neural networks with time-varying discrete and distributed delays

In this paper, the problem of the global exponential stability analysis is investigated for a class of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with time-varying discrete and distributed delays. Due to a novel technique when estimating the upper bound of the derivative of Lyapunov functional, we establish new exponential stability criteria in terms of LMIs. It is shown that the obtained criteria can provide less conservative results than some existing ones. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Global exponential stability of Hopfield reaction-diffusion neural networks with time-varying delays

The authors analyze the existence of the equilibrium point and global exponential stability for Hopfield reaction-diffusion neural networks with time-varying delays by means of the topological degree theory and generalized Halanay inequality. Since the diffusion phenomena and time delay could not be ignored in neural networks and electric circuits, the model presented here is close to the actual systems, and the sufficient conditions on global exponential stability established in this paper, which are easily verifiable, have a wider adaptive range.     

Exponential stability analysis of stochastic reaction-diffusion Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with mixed delays

In this paper, we study a new class of stochastic Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with reaction-diffusion and mixed delays. Without the aid of nonnegative semimartingale convergence theorem, the method of variation parameter and linear matrix inequalities technique, a set of novel sufficient conditions on the exponential stability for the considered system is obtained by utilizing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, the Poincaré inequality and stochastic analysis theory. The obtained results show that the reaction-diffusion term does contribute to the exponentially stabilization of the considered system. Therefore, our results generalize and improve some earlier publications. Moreover, two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results and demonstrate that the stability criteria existed in the earlier literature fail.

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.

New stability criteria for BAM neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the exponential stability is investigated for a class of time-delay BAM neural networks (NNs). Time delays of two layers are taken into account separately rather than as a whole with the idea of delay fractioning. Then we generalize the result to time-varying interval delay condition. Exploiting the known constant part of delay sufficiently to estimate the upper bounds, we can derive an improved stability for BAM NNs with time-varying interval delay. Two examples are provided to demonstrate the less conservatism and effectiveness of the proposed linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions.
