Global exponential stability analysis of anti-periodic solutions of discontinuous bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with time-varying delays

Abstract

Abstract This paper is concerned with a class of bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with discontinuous activations and time-varying delays. Under the basic framework of differential inclusions theory, the existence result of solutions in sense of Filippov solution is firstly established by using the fundamental solution matrix of coefficients and inequality analysis technique. Also, the boundness of the solutions can be estimated. Secondly, based on the non-smooth Lyapunov-like approach and by construsting suitable Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals, some new sufficient criteria are given to ascertain the globally exponential stability of the anti-periodic solutions for the proposed neural network system. Furthermore, we have collated our effort with some previous existing ones in the literatures and showed that it can take more advantages. Finally, two examples with numerical simulations are exploited to illustrate the correctness.
