New results for global robust stability of bidirectional associative memory neural networks with multiple time delays

Abstract

This paper presents some new sufficient conditions for the global robust asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with multiple time delays. The results we obtain impose constraint conditions on the network parameters of neural system independently of the delay parameter, and they are applicable to all bounded continuous non-monotonic neuron activation functions. We also give some numerical examples to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness Of Our results, and compare the results with the previous robust stability results derived in the literature.
