Delay-dependent Criteria for Robust Stability of Uncertain Switched Hopfield Neural Networks

This paper deals with the problem of delay-dependent robust stability for a class of switched Hopfield neural networks with time-varying structured uncertainties and time-varying delay. Some Lyapunov-KrasoVskii functionals are constructed and the linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach and free weighting matrix method are employed to devise some delay-dependent stability criteria which guarantee the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of the equilibrium point for all admissible parametric uncertainties. By using Leibniz-Newton formula, free weighting matrices are employed to express this relationship, which implies that the new criteria are less conservative than existing ones. Some examples suggest that the proposed criteria are effective and are an improvement over previous ones.

Novel stability criteria for fuzzy Hopfield neural networks based on an improved homogeneous matrix polynomials technique

The global stability problem of Takagi-Sugeno（T-S） fuzzy Hopfield neural networks（FHNNs） with time delays is investigated.Novel LMI-based stability criteria are obtained by using Lyapunov functional theory to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the FHNNs with less conservatism.Firstly,using both Finsler＇s lemma and an improved homogeneous matrix polynomial technique,and applying an affine parameter-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional,we obtain the convergent LMI-based stability criteria.Algebraic properties of the fuzzy membership functions in the unit simplex are considered in the process of stability analysis via the homogeneous matrix polynomials technique.Secondly,to further reduce the conservatism,a new right-hand-side slack variables introducing technique is also proposed in terms of LMIs,which is suitable to the homogeneous matrix polynomials setting.Finally,two illustrative examples are given to show the efficiency of the proposed approaches.

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.

A novel chaotic system with one source and two saddle-foci in Hopfield neural networks

This paper presents the finding of a novel chaotic system with one source and two saddle-foci in a simple three-dimensional （3D） autonomous continuous time Hopfield neural network. In particular, the system with one source and two saddle-foci has a chaotic attractor and a periodic attractor with different initial points, which has rarely been reported in 3D autonomous systems. The complex dynamical behaviours of the system are further investigated by means of a Lyapunov exponent spectrum, phase portraits and bifurcation analysis. By virtue of a result of horseshoe theory in dynamical systems, this paper presents rigorous computer-assisted verifications for the existence of a horseshoe in the system for a certain parameter.

Stability of discrete Hopfield neural networks with delay

Discrete Hopfield neural network with delay is an extension of discrete Hopfield neural network. As it is well known, the stability of neural networks is not only the most basic and important problem but also foundation of the network＇s applications. The stability of discrete HJopfield neural networks with delay is mainly investigated by using Lyapunov function. The sufficient conditions for the networks with delay converging towards a limit cycle of length 4 are obtained. Also, some sufficient criteria are given to ensure the networks having neither a stable state nor a limit cycle with length 2. The obtained results here generalize the previous results on stability of discrete Hopfield neural network with delay and without delay.

On-board modeling of gravity fields of elongated asteroids using Hopfield neural networks

To rapidly model the gravity field near elongated asteroids,an intelligent inversion method using Hopfield neural networks(HNNs)is proposed to estimate on-orbit simplified model parameters.First,based on a rotating mass dipole model,the gravitational field of asteroids is characterized using a few parameters.To solve all the parameters of this simplified model,a stepped parameter estimation model is constructed based on different gravity field models.Second,to overcome linearization difficulties caused by the coupling of the parameters to be estimated and the system state,a dynamic parameter linearization technique is proposed such that all terms except the parameter terms are known or available.Moreover,the Lyapunov function of the HNNs is matched to the problem of minimizing parameter estimation errors.Equilibrium values of the Lyapunov function areused as estimated values.The proposed method is applied to natural elongated asteroids 216 Kleopatra,951 Gaspra,and 433 Eros.Simulation results indicate that this method can estimate the simplified model parameters rapidly,and that the estimated simplified model provides a good approximation of the gravity field of elongated asteroids.

Coexistence behavior of asymmetric attractors in hyperbolic-type memristive Hopfield neural network and its application in image encryption

The neuron model has been widely employed in neural-morphic computing systems and chaotic circuits.This study aims to develop a novel circuit simulation of a three-neuron Hopfield neural network(HNN)with coupled hyperbolic memristors through the modification of a single coupling connection weight.The bistable mode of the hyperbolic memristive HNN(mHNN),characterized by the coexistence of asymmetric chaos and periodic attractors,is effectively demonstrated through the utilization of conventional nonlinear analysis techniques.These techniques include bifurcation diagrams,two-parameter maximum Lyapunov exponent plots,local attractor basins,and phase trajectory diagrams.Moreover,an encryption technique for color images is devised by leveraging the mHNN model and asymmetric structural attractors.This method demonstrates significant benefits in correlation,information entropy,and resistance to differential attacks,providing strong evidence for its effectiveness in encryption.Additionally,an improved modular circuit design method is employed to create the analog equivalent circuit of the memristive HNN.The correctness of the circuit design is confirmed through Multisim simulations,which align with numerical simulations conducted in Matlab.

Power law decay of stored pattern stability in sparse Hopfield neural networks

Hopfield neural networks on scale-free networks display the power law relation between the stability of patterns and the number of patterns.The stability is measured by the overlap between the output state and the stored pattern which is presented to a neural network.In simulations the overlap declines to a constant by a power law decay.Here we provide the explanation for the power law behavior through the signal-to-noise ratio analysis.We show that on sparse networks storing a plenty of patterns the stability of stored patterns can be approached by a power law function with the exponent-0.5.There is a difference between analytic and simulation results that the analytic results of overlap decay to 0.The difference exists because the signal and noise term of nodes diverge from the mean-field approach in the sparse finite size networks.
