Existence and exponential stability of solutions of NNs with continuously distributed delays

Abstract

In this paper, applying the fixed point theorem and a new method, we study the existence, uniqueness, and global exponential stability of solutions of NNs with continuously distributed delays and obtain some new results in terms of system parameters. In our results, the exponentially convergent rate is given and the conditions are less restrictive than previously known criteria. Therefore they can be applied to NNs with a broad range of activation functions though these functions are neither differentiability nor strict monotonicity.
