Global exponential stability of high order Hopfield type neural networks (Q2490194)

The paper studies the following Hopfield-type neural network with high-order connections between neurons \[ C_i\frac{du_i}{dt}=-\frac{u_i}{R_i}+\sum_{j=1}^{n}T_{ij}g_{j}(u_j)+\sum_{j=1}^{n} \sum_{k=1}^{n}T_{ijk}g_{j}(u_j)g_{k}(u_k)+I_i, \] with \(i=1,\ldots,n\). New criteria for the global exponential stability of the equilibrium are obtained by the method of Lyapunov functions. The rate of convergence is estimated, too. These results improve some previous results even in the first-order connection network.
