In this paper, a novel memristor-based non-delay Hopfield neural network with impulsive effects is designed in a quaternion field. Some special inequalities, differential inclusion, Hamilton rules and impulsive system theories are utilized in this manuscript to investigate potential solutions and obtain some sufficient criteria. In addition, through choosing proper μ(t) and impulsive points, the global μ-stability of the solution is discussed and some sufficient criteria are presented by special technologies. Then, from the obtained sufficient criteria of global μ-stability, other stability criteria including exponential stability and power stability can be easily derived. Finally, one numerical example is given to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the derived conclusions.
