Some generalized global stability criteria for delayed Cohen-Grossberg neural networks of neutral-type.

This paper carries out a theoretical investigation into the stability problem for the class of neutral-type Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with discrete time delays in states and discrete neutral delays in time derivative of states. By employing a more general type of suitable Lyapunov functional, a set of new generalized sufficient criteria are derived for the global asymptotic stability of delayed neural networks of neutral-type. The proposed stability criteria are independently of the values of the time delays and neutral delays, and they completely rely on some algebraic mathematical relationships involving the values of the elements of the interconnection matrices and the other network parameters. Therefore, it is easy to verify the validity of the obtained results by simply using some algebraic equations representing the stability conditions. A detailed comparison between our proposed results and recently reported corresponding stability results is made, proving that the results given in this paper generalize previously published stability results. A constructive numerical example is also given to demonstrate the applicability of the results of the paper.

Decentralized event-triggered synchronization of uncertain Markovian jumping neutral-type neural networks with mixed delays.

In this study, we present an approach for the decentralized event-triggered synchronization of Markovian jumping neutral-type neural networks with mixed delays. We present a method for designing decentralized event-triggered synchronization, which only utilizes locally available information, in order to determine the time instants for transmission from sensors to a central controller. By applying a novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, as well as using the reciprocal convex combination method and some inequality techniques such as Jensen's inequality, we obtain several sufficient conditions in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) under which the delayed neural networks are stochastically stable in terms of the error systems. Finally, we conclude that the drive systems synchronize stochastically with the response systems. We show that the proposed stability criteria can be verified easily using the numerically efficient Matlab LMI toolbox. The effectiveness and feasibility of the results obtained are verified by numerical examples.

Robustness analysis of uncertain dynamical neural networks with multiple time delays.

This paper studies the problem of global robust asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for the class of dynamical neural networks with multiple time delays with respect to the class of slope-bounded activation functions and in the presence of the uncertainties of system parameters of the considered neural network model. By using an appropriate Lyapunov functional and exploiting the properties of the homeomorphism mapping theorem, we derive a new sufficient condition for the existence, uniqueness and global robust asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for the class of neural networks with multiple time delays. The obtained stability condition basically relies on testing some relationships imposed on the interconnection matrices of the neural system, which can be easily verified by using some certain properties of matrices. An instructive numerical example is also given to illustrate the applicability of our result and show the advantages of this new condition over the previously reported corresponding results.

Global robust stability of bidirectional associative memory neural networks with multiple time delays.

This correspondence presents a sufficient condition for the existence, uniqueness, and global robust asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for bidirectional associative memory neural networks with discrete time delays. The results impose constraint conditions on the network parameters of the neural system independently of the delay parameter, and they are applicable to all bounded continuous nonmonotonic neuron activation functions. Some numerical examples are given to compare our results with the previous robust stability results derived in the literature.
