Exponential periodic attractor of impulsive BAM networks with finite distributed delays

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a class of impulsive bidirectional associative memory (BAM) networks with both periodic coefficients and finite distributed delays. New criteria are established for the existence of an exponential periodic attractor, which generalize and improve the previously known results. Our criteria are less restrictive and can be applied to impulsive or non-impulsive BAM networks with a broad range of activation functions without differentiability and strict monotonicity. Moreover, our results are given in terms of system parameters and finite delay kernels of impulsive BAM networks by employing inequality technique, M-matrix and spectral theory. Finally, an example is given to show the feasibility and effectiveness of our results.
