Through introducing some free-weighting matrices and the equivalent descriptor form, a delay-dependent stability criterion is established for the addressed systems. The condition is expressed in terms of a linear matrix inequality （LMI）, and it can be checked by resorting to the LMI in the Matlab toolbox. In addition, the proposed stability criteria do not require the monotonicity of the activation functions and the derivative of a time-varying delay being less than 1, which generalize and improve earlier methods. Finally, numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the obtained methods.展开更多

The condition is expressed in terms of a linear matrix inequality （LMI）, and it can be checked by resorting to the LMI in the Matlab toolbox. In addition, the proposed stability criteria do not require the monotonicity of the activation functions and the derivative of a time-varying delay being less than 1, which generalize and improve earlier methods. Finally, numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the obtained methods.
文摘Both the global exponential stability and the existence of periodic solutions for a class of recurrent neural networks with continuously distributed delays （RNNs） are studied. By employing the inequality α∏k=1^m bk^qk≤1/r ∑qkbk^r＋1/rα^r（α≥0,bk≥0,qk〉0,with ∑k=1^m qk=r-1,r≥1, constructing suitable Lyapunov r k=l k=l functions and applying the homeomorphism theory, a family of simple and new sufficient conditions are given ensuring the global exponential stability and the existence of periodic solutions of RNNs. The results extend and improve the results of earlier publications.

文摘This paper is concerned with multidirectional associative memory neural network with distributed delays on almost-periodic time scales.Some sufficient conditions on the existence,uniqueness and the global exponential stability of almost-periodic solutions are established.An example is presented to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the obtained results.
文摘This paper investigates the absolute exponential stability of generalized neural networks with a general class of partially Lipschitz continuous and monotone increasing activation functions. The main obtained result is that if the interconnection matrix T of the neural system satisfies that - T is an H matrix with nonnegative diagonal elements, then the neural system is absolutely exponentially stable(AEST). The Hopfield network, Cellular neural network and Bidirectional associative memory network are special cases of the network model considered in this paper. So this work gives some improvements to the previous ones.

文摘A class of generalized Cohen-Grossberg neural networks（CGNNs） with variable de- lays are investigated. By introducing a new type of Lyapunov functional and applying the homeomorphism theory and inequality technique, some new conditions axe derived ensuring the existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium point and its global exponential stability for CGNNs. These results obtained are independent of delays, develop the existent outcome in the earlier literature and are very easily checked in practice.
文摘By using the quasi-Lyapunov function, some sufficient conditions of global exponential stability for impulsive systems are established, which is the basis for the following discussion. Then, by employing Riccati inequality and Hamilton-Jacobi inequality approach, some sufficient conditions of robust exponential stability for uncertain linear/nonlinear impulsive systems are derived, respectively. Finally, some examples are given to illustrate the applications of the theory.
文摘The problem of stabilizing a class of large-scale non-linear multiple delay systems is considered.The complicated system is decomposed into several subsystems; each function of them is expressed by a set of components of the overall state vector,with interconnections between them, and the subsystems are coupled by the delayed state. In this paper, a method is devised to be a suitable choice of state feedback controls of every subsystems, moreover, it is proved that the large-scale system is exponential stable.

文摘In this paper, the problem of the global exponential stability analysis is investigated for a class of recurrent neural networks （RNNs） with time-varying discrete and distributed delays. Due to a novel technique when estimating the upper bound of the derivative of Lyapunov functional, we establish new exponential stability criteria in terms of LMIs. It is shown that the obtained criteria can provide less conservative results than some existing ones. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed results.
