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.

LMI-based approach for global asymptotic stability analysis of continuous BAM neural networks

Studies on the stability of the equilibrium points of continuous bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural network have yielded many useful results. A novel neural network model called standard neural network model (SNNM) is ad- vanced. By using state affine transformation, the BAM neural networks were converted to SNNMs. Some sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of continuous BAM neural networks were derived from studies on the SNNMs’ stability. These conditions were formulated as easily verifiable linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), whose conservativeness is relatively low. The approach proposed extends the known stability results, and can also be applied to other forms of recurrent neural networks (RNNs).

Global asymptotic stability for Hopfield-type neural networks with diffusion effects

The existence, uniqueness and global asymptotic stability for the equilibrium of Hopfield-type neural networks with diffusion effects are studied. When the activation functions are monotonously nondecreasing, differentiable, and the interconnected matrix is related to the Lyapunov diagonal stable matrix, the sufficient conditions guaranteeing the existence of the equilibrium of the system are obtained by applying the topological degree theory. By means of constructing the suitable average Lyapunov functions, the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium of the system is also investigated. It is shown that the equilibrium （if it exists） is globally asymptotically stable and this implies that the equilibrium of the system is unique.

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.

By using some stochastic analysis techniques and Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional,some conditions are derived to ensure that the cellular neural networks with random delay is asymptotical mean-square stability. A numerical example is exploited to show the vadlidness of the established results.

The proposed method has the advantage of considering the difference of neuronal excitatory and inhibitory effects, which is also computationally efficient as it can be solved numerically using the recently developed interior-point algorithm or be checked using simple algebraic calculation. In addition, the proposed results generalize and improve upon some previous works. Two numerical examples are used to show the effectiveness of the obtained results.
