Numerical simulations show that the network displays chaotic behaviours for some well selected parameters.

System identification based on NARMAX model using Hopfield networks

An approach is proposed to avoid model structure determination in system identification using NARMAX （nonlinear autoregressive moving average with exogenous inputs） model. Identification procedure is formulated as an optimization procedure of a apecial class of Hopfield network in the proposed approach. The particular structure of these Hopfield networks can avoid the local optimum problem. Training of these Hopfield network achieves model structure determination and parameter estimation. Convergence of Hopfield networks guarantees that a NARMAX model of random initial state will approach a valid identification model with accurate state parameters. Results of two simulation examples illustrate that this approach is efficient and simple.

State Sampling Dependence of Hopfield Network Inference

The fully connected Hopfield network is inferred based on observed magnetizations and pairwise correlations.We present the system in the glassy phase with low temperature and high memory load.We find that the inference error is very sensitive to the form of state sampling.When a single state is sampled to compute magnetizations and correlations,the inference error is almost indistinguishable irrespective of the sampled state.However,the error can be greatly reduced if the data is collected with state transitions.Our result holds for different disorder samples and accounts for the previously observed large fluctuations of inference error at low temperatures.

Hierarchical control based on Hopfield network for nonseparable opti mization problems

The nonseparable optimization control problem is considered, where the overall objective function is not of an additive form with respect to subsystems. Since there exists the problem that computation is very slow when using iteratire algorithms in multiobjective optimization, Hopfield optimization hierarchical network based on IPM is presented to overcome such slow computation difficulty. Asymptotic stability of this Hopfield network is proved and its equilibrium point is the optimal point of the original problem. The simulation shows that the net is effective to deal with the optimization control problem for large-scale non.separable steady state systems.

Our results improve and extend some existing ones in [13-14]. One example is also worked out to demonstrate the advantages of our results.

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.

Hopfield neural network based on ant system

Hopfield neural network is a single layer feedforward neural network. Hopfield network requires some control parameters to be carefully selected, else the network is apt to converge to local minimum. An ant system is a nature inspired meta heuristic algorithm. It has been applied to several combinatorial optimization problems such as Traveling Salesman Problem, Scheduling Problems, etc. This paper will show an ant system may be used in tuning the network control parameters by a group of cooperated ants. The major advantage of this network is to adjust the network parameters automatically, avoiding a blind search for the set of control parameters. This network was tested on two TSP problems, 5 cities and 10 cities. The results have shown an obvious improvement.

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.

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.

Irt this paper, we assume that the network parameters vary almost periodically with time and we incorporate variable delays in the processing part of the network architectures.

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.

H∞ synchronization of chaotic Hopfield networks with time-varying delay: a resilient DOF control approach

This paper focuses on the issue of resilient dynamic output-feedback(DOF)control for H_∞synchronization of chaotic Hopfield networks with time-varying delay.The aim is to determine a DOF controller with gain perturbations ensuring that the H_∞norm from the external disturbances to the synchronization error is less than or equal to a prescribed bound.A delaydependent criterion for the H_∞synchronization is derived by employing the Lyapunov functional method together with some recent inequalities.Then,with the help of some decoupling techniques,sufficient conditions on the existence of the resilient DOF controller are developed for both the time-varying and constant time-delay cases.Lastly,an example is used to illustrate the applicability of the results obtained.
