In this paper, almost sure exponential stability of neutral delayed cellular neural networks which are in the noised environment is studied by decomposing the state space to sub-regions in view of the saturation linearity of output functions of neurons of the cellular neural networks. Some algebraic criteria are obtained and easily verified. Some examples are given to illustrate the correctness of the results obtained.

Adaptive Stochastic Synchronization of Uncertain Delayed Neural Networks

This paper considers adaptive synchronization of uncertain neural networks with time delays and stochastic perturbation. A general adaptive controller is designed to deal with the difficulties deduced by uncertain parameters and stochastic perturbations, in which the controller is less conservative and optimal since its control gains can be automatically adjusted according to some designed update laws. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and Barbalat lemma, sufficient condition is obtained for synchronization of delayed neural networks by strict mathematical proof. Moreover, the obtained results of this paper are more general than most existing results of certainly neural networks with or without stochastic disturbances. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to substantiate our theoretical results.

Stochastic asymptotical synchronization of chaotic Markovian jumping fuzzy cellular neural networks with mixed delays and the Wiener process based on sampled-data control

We investigate the stochastic asymptotical synchronization of chaotic Markovian jumping fuzzy cellular neural networks （MJFCNNs） with discrete, unbounded distributed delays, and the Wiener process based on sampled-data control using the linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach. The Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional combined with the input delay approach as well as the free-weighting matrix approach is employed to derive several sufficient criteria in terms of LMIs to ensure that the delayed MJFCNNs with the Wiener process is stochastic asymptotical synchronous. Restrictions （e.g., time derivative is smaller than one） are removed to obtain a proposed sampled-data controller. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the reliability of the derived results.

Global exponential stability for delayed cellular neural networks and estimate of exponential convergence rate

Some sufficient conditions for the global exponential stability and lower bounds on the rate of exponential convergence of the cellular neural networks with delay (DCNNs) are obtained by means of a method based on delay differential inequality. The method, which does not make use of any Lyapunov functional, is simple and valid for the stability analysis of neural networks with delay. Some previously established results in this paper are shown to be special casses of the presented result.

A type of stochastic interval delayed Hopfield neural networks as du(t) = [-AIu(t) + WIf(t,u(t)) + WIτf7τ(uτ(t)] dt +σ(t, u(t), uτ(t)) dw(t) on t≥0 with initiated value u(s) = ζ(s) on - τ≤s≤0 has been studied. By using the Razumikhin theorem and Lyapunov functions, some sufficient conditions of their globally asymptotic robust stability and global exponential stability on such systems have been given. All the results obtained are generalizations of some recent ones reported in the literature for uncertain neural networks with constant delays or their certain cases.

Global impulsive exponential synchronization of stochastic perturbed chaotic delayed neural networks

In this paper, the global impulsive exponential synchronization problem of a class of chaotic delayed neural networks （DNNs） with stochastic perturbation is studied. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, stochastic analysis approach and an efficient impulsive delay differential inequality, some new exponential synchronization criteria expressed in the form of the linear matrix inequality （LMI） are derived. The designed impulsive controller not only can globally exponentially stabilize the error dynamics in mean square, but also can control the exponential synchronization rate. Furthermore, to estimate the stable region of the synchronization error dynamics, a novel optimization control al- gorithm is proposed, which can deal with the minimum problem with two nonlinear terms coexisting in LMIs effectively. Simulation results finally demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Stability analysis of delayed cellular neural networks with and without noise perturbation

The stability of a class of delayed cellular neural networks （DCNN） with or without noise perturbation is studied. After presenting a simple and easily checkable condition for the global exponential stability of a deterministic system, we further investigate the case with noise perturbation. When DCNN is perturbed by external noise, the system is globally stable. An important fact is that, when the system is perturbed by internal noise, it is globally exponentially stable only if the total noise strength is within a certain bound. This is significant since the stochastic resonance phenomena have been found to exist in many nonlinear systems.

The results establish a relation between the delay time and the parameters of the network. The results are also compared with one of the most recent results derived in the literature.

GLOBAL ASYMPTOTIC STABILITY CONDITIONS OF DELAYED NEURAL NETWORKS

Utilizing the Liapunov functional method and combining the inequality of matrices technique to analyze the existence of a unique equilibrium point and the global asymptotic stability for delayed cellular neural networks (DCNNs), a new sufficient criterion ensuring the global stability of DCNNs is obtained. Our criteria provide some parameters to appropriately compensate for the tradeoff between the matrix definite condition on feedback matrix and delayed feedback matrix. The criteria can easily be used to design and verify globally stable networks. Furthermore,the condition presented here is independent of the delay parameter and is less restrictive than that given in the references.

A general model of linearly stochastically coupled identical connected neural networks with hybrid coupling is proposed, which is composed of constant coupling, coupling discrete time-varying delay and coupling distributed timevarying delay. All the coupling terms are subjected to stochastic disturbances described in terms of Brownian motion, which reflects a more realistic dynamical behaviour of coupled systems in practice. Based on a simple adaptive feedback controller and stochastic stability theory, several sufficient criteria are presented to ensure the synchronization of linearly stochastically coupled complex networks with coupling mixed time-varying delays. Finally, numerical simulations illustrated by scale-free complex networks verify the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.

This paper is concerned with the problem of robust stability for a class of Markovian jumping stochastic neural networks （MJSNNs） subject to mode-dependent time-varying interval delay and state-multiplicative noise. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and a stochastic analysis approach, some new delay-dependent sufficient conditions are obtained in the linear matrix inequality （LMI） format such that delayed MJSNNs are globally asymptotically stable in the mean-square sense for all admissible uncertainties. An important feature of the results is that the stability criteria are dependent on not only the lower bound and upper bound of delay for all modes but also the covariance matrix consisting of the correlation coefficient. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness.
