Cellular neural networks: dynamics and modelling

From MaRDI portal





In 1988, Chua and Yang introduced a novel class of information processing systems, termed cellular neural networks (CNNs), which possess several important features of neural networks and can be successfully used in applied problems like pattern recognition or image processing. The book under review is concerned with mathematical modeling and analysis of this useful class of neural networks and comprises of four chapters, three appendices, and bibliography. Basic theory of CNNs is discussed in the first chapter where the architecture of linear, nonlinear, delay and multilayer CNNs is studied along with the basic stability results. Chapter two deals with the dynamics of nonlinear and delay CNNs. Here, several fundamental properties of these networks are examined, including dynamic behavior of CNNs with various types of nonlinearity in the feedback circuit, stability, bifurcations, and chaos. Hysteresis and chaos in CNNs form the subject of Chapter three. In particular, stability of the equilibrium points of CNNs with hysteresis, periodic solutions in the hysteresis region, hyperbolic CNNs with hysteresis, bifurcations and chaos in CNNs, control of chaotic CNNs are examined. Finally, various applications of CNNs to modeling in biology, ecology, genetics, neurophysiology, physics are addressed in Chapter four, where CNN models for many classical equations like sine-Gordon, FitzHugh-Nagumo, Fisher's, Lotka-Volterra are considered. Although the author have tried ``to make the book as self-contained as possible, the exposition sometimes lacks clarity and consistency; several important notions and results which are frequently referred to in the text are not presented; proofs of many results are omitted. There are quite a few spelling and typing mistakes, as well as inconsistency in numbering of the theorems. Nevertheless, the book contains many interesting theoretical results on dynamics of CNNs along with examples illustrating the usefulness of CNNs for mathematical modeling in natural sciences and may be of interest for researchers and graduate students in applied mathematics.
