Abstract
This study on the local stability of quaternion-valued neural networks is of great significance to the application of associative memory and pattern recognition. In the research, we study local Lagrange exponential stability of quaternion-valued neural networks with time delays. By separating the quaternion-valued neural networks into a real part and three imaginary parts, separating the quaternion field into 34n subregions, and using the intermediate value theorem, sufficient conditions are proposed to ensure quaternion-valued neural networks have 34n equilibrium points. According to the Halanay inequality, the conditions for the existence of 24n local Lagrange exponentially stable equilibria of quaternion-valued neural networks are established. The obtained stability results improve and extend the existing ones. Under the same conditions, quaternion-valued neural networks have more stable equilibrium points than complex-valued neural networks and real-valued neural networks. The validity of the theoretical results were verified by an example.
