Matrix Measure Approach for Stability and Synchronization of Complex-Valued Neural Networks with Deviating Argument

Abstract

This paper concentrates on global exponential stability and synchronization for complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) with deviating argument by matrix measure approach. The Lyapunov function is no longer required, and some sufficient conditions are firstly obtained to ascertain the addressed system to be exponentially stable under different activation functions. Moreover, after designing a suitable controller, the synchronization of two complex-valued coupled neural networks is realized, and the derived condition is easy to be confirmed. Finally, some numerical examples are given to demonstrate the superiority and feasibility of the presented theoretical analysis and results.
