Abstract

A fractional model of the Hopfield neural network is considered in the case of the application of the generalized proportional Caputo fractional derivative. The stability analysis of this model is used to show the reliability of the processed information. An equilibrium is defined, which is generally not a constant (different than the case of ordinary derivatives and Caputo-type fractional derivatives). We define the exponential stability and the Mittag–Leffler stability of the equilibrium. For this, we extend the second method of Lyapunov in the fractional-order case and establish a useful inequality for the generalized proportional Caputo fractional derivative of the quadratic Lyapunov function. Several sufficient conditions are presented to guarantee these types of stability. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

Summary

Introduction

Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. In [1], Jarad, Abdeljawad, and Alzabut introduced a new type of fractional derivative, the so-called generalized proportional fractional derivative This type of derivative preserves the semigroup property, possesses a nonlocal character, and converges to the original function and its derivative upon limiting cases [2]. We derive some inequalities for quadratic Lyapunov functions and some connections between the solutions and the Lyapunov functions These results are applied to study the stability properties of the Hopfield neural network with time-variable coefficients and Lipschitz activation functions. Obtaining the Riemann–Liouville and Caputo fractional derivatives as a special case—offers a possibility for more adequate modeling of some properties of the neural network. The Hopfield neural model with time-variable coefficients and the generalized proportional fractional derivatives of the Caputo type are set up.
