Periodic oscillation for a class of neural networks with variable coefficients (Q2387466)

The authors study a class of neural networks with periodic coefficients which incorporates as special cases Hopfield neural networks, bidirectional associate memory networks and cellular neural networks. Some new sufficient conditions are established for the existence, uniqueness, global exponential stability of a periodic solution for these neural networks. More general systems and more general problems have been investigated by \textit{M. Fan} and \textit{X. Zou} [Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 57, 111-135 (2004; Zbl 1058.45004)] and \textit{M. Fan} and \textit{D. Ye} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 309, 598-625 (2005; Zbl 1086.34060)].
