Existence and global exponential stability of periodic solution to Cohen-Grossberg BAM neural networks with time-varying delays (Q437632)

Summary: We investigate first the existence of periodic solution in general Cohen-Grossberg BAM neural networks with multiple time-varying delays by means of using degree theory. Then using the existence result of periodic solution and constructing a Lyapunov functional, we discuss global exponential stability of periodic solution for the above neural networks. Our result on global exponential stability of periodic solution is different from the existing results. In our result, both the hypothesis for monotonicity inequality conditions on the behaved functions and the assumption for boundedness from earlier works are removed. We just require that the behaved functions satisfy sign conditions and activation functions are globally Lipschitz continuous.
