New criteria for global stability of neutral-type Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with multiple delays

Abstract

The significant contribution of this paper is the addressing the stability issue of neutral-type Cohen–Grossberg neural networks possessing multiple time delays in the states of the neurons and multiple neutral delays in time derivative of states of the neurons. By making the use of a novel and enhanced Lyapunov functional, some new sufficient stability criteria are presented for this model of neutral-type neural systems. The obtained stability conditions are completely dependent of the parameters of the neural system and independent of time delays and neutral delays. A constructive numerical example is presented for the sake of proving the key advantages of the proposed stability results over the previously reported corresponding stability criteria for Cohen–Grossberg neural networks of neutral type. Since, stability analysis of Cohen–Grossberg neural networks involving multiple time delays and multiple neutral delays is a difficult problem to overcome, the investigations of the stability conditions of the neutral-type the stability analysis of this class of neural network models have not been given much attention. Therefore, the stability criteria derived in this work can be evaluated as a valuable contribution to the stability analysis of neutral-type Cohen–Grossberg neural systems involving multiple delays.
