IMPROVED SUFFICIENT CONDITIONS FOR GLOBAL EXPONENTIAL STABILITY OF RECURRENT NEURAL NETWORKS WITH DISTRIBUTED DELAYS

Abstract

In this paper, the globally exponential stability of recurrent neural networks with continuously distributed delays is investigated. New theoretical results are presented in the presence of external stimuli. It is shown that the recurrent neural network is globally exponentially stable, and the estimated location of the equilibrium point can be obtained. As typical representatives, the Hopfield neural network (HNN) and the cellular neural network (CNN) are examined in detail. Comparison between our results and the previous results admits the improvement of our results.
