Delay-dependent global stability condition for delayed Hopfield neural networks (Q2472916): Difference between revisions

Consider the differential-delay system \[ {dx\over dt}=- Cx(t)+ AS(x(t-\tau))+ b\tag{\(*\)} \] with \(x\in\mathbb{R}^n\), \(S(x(t-\tau))= [s_1(x_1(t- \tau_1),\dots, s_n(x_n(t-\tau_n))]^T\), \(C= \text{diag}(c_1,\dots, c_n)\), \(c_i> 0\), \(\tau_n\geq 0\). The activator functions \(s_i\) are assumed to be bounded and globally Lipschitzian. Let \(x^*\) be an equilibrium point of \((*)\). The authors derive a sufficient (matrix) condition for \(x^*\) to be globally asymptotically stable. The proof is based on a Lyapunov functional.
