Asymptotic behavior of a BAM neural network with delays of distributed type

In this paper, we examine a Bidirectional Associative Memory neural network model with distributed delays. Using a result due to Cid [4], we were able to prove an exponential stability result in the case when the standard Lipschitz continuity condition is violated. Indeed, we deal with activation functions which may not be Lipschitz continuous. Therefore, the standard Halanay inequality is not applicable. We will use a nonlinear version of this inequality. At the end, the obtained differential inequality which should imply the exponential stability appears "state dependent". That is the usual constant depends in this case on the state itself. This adds some difficulties which we overcome by a suitable argument.

Design and Practical Stability of a New Class of Impulsive Fractional-Like Neural Networks

In this paper, a new class of impulsive neural networks with fractional-like derivatives is defined, and the practical stability properties of the solutions are investigated. The stability analysis exploits a new type of Lyapunov-like functions and their derivatives. Furthermore, the obtained results are applied to a bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural network model with fractional-like derivatives. Some new results for the introduced neural network models with uncertain values of the parameters are also obtained.
