Lasalle method and general decay stability of stochastic neural networks with mixed delays

Abstract

This paper investigates the general decay pathwise stability conditions on a class of stochastic neural networks with mixed delays by applying Lasalle method. The mixed time delays comprise both time-varying delays and infinite distributed delays. The contributions are as follows: (1) we extend the Lasalle-type theorem to cover stochastic differential equations with mixed delays; (2) based on the stochastic Lasalle theorem and the M-matrix theory, new criteria of general decay stability, which includes the almost surely exponential stability and the almost surely polynomial stability and the partial stability, for neural networks with mixed delays are established. As an application of our results, this paper also considers a two-dimensional delayed stochastic neural networks model.
