Multiple Equilibrium Points

A general class of Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with time-varying delays, distributed delays, and discontinuous activation functions is investigated. By partitioning the state space, employing analysis approach and Cauchy convergence principle, sufficient conditions are established for the existence and locally exponential stability of multiple equilibrium points and periodic orbits, which ensure thatn-dimensional Cohen-Grossberg neural networks withk-level discontinuous activation functions can haveknequilibrium points orknperiodic orbits. Finally, several examples are given to illustrate the feasibility of the obtained results.

Discontinuous Activation Functions

In this letter, without assuming the boundedness of the activation functions, we discuss the dynamics of a class of delayed neural networks with discontinuous activation functions. A relaxed set of sufficient conditions is derived, guaranteeing the existence, uniqueness, and global stability of the equilibrium point. Convergence behaviors for both state and output are discussed. The constraints imposed on the feedback matrix are independent of the delay parameter and can be validated by the linear matrix inequality technique. We also prove that the solution of delayed neural networks with discontinuous activation functions can be regarded as a limit of the solutions of delayed neural networks with high-slope continuous activation functions.

Global Robust Exponential Stability

The robust almost periodic dynamical behavior is investigated for interval neural networks with mixed time-varying delays and discontinuous activation functions. Firstly, based on the definition of the solution in the sense of Filippov for differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides and the differential inclusions theory, the existence and asymptotically almost periodicity of the solution of interval network system are proved. Secondly, by constructing appropriate generalized Lyapunov functional and employing linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques, a delay-dependent criterion is achieved to guarantee the existence, uniqueness, and global robust exponential stability of almost periodic solution in terms of LMIs. Moreover, as special cases, the obtained results can be used to check the global robust exponential stability of a unique periodic solution/equilibrium for discontinuous interval neural networks with mixed time-varying delays and periodic/constant external inputs. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the validity of the theoretical results.
