Global stability analysis of a class of delayed cellular neural networks (Q2575898)

The authors consider the exponential stability and the existence of periodic solutions of delayed cellular neural networks described by \[ x_i'(t)= -c_i(t) x_i(t)+ \sum^n_{j=1} a_{ij}(t) f_j(x_j(t))+ \sum^n_{j=1} b_{ij}(t) f_j(x_j(t- \tau_{ij}(t)))+ I_i(t),\;i= 1,2,\dots,n, \] in which \(n\) corresponds to the number of units in a neural network. Employing Brouwer's fixed-point theorem, sufficient conditions for global exponential stability and the existence of periodic solutions are obtained. Two examples which illustrate the results are given.
