Existence and exponential stability of periodic solution for continuous-time and discrete-time generalized bidirectional neural networks

Yongkun Li

Abstract:
We study the existence and global exponential stability of positive periodic solutions for a class of continuous-time generalized bidirectional neural networks with variable coefficients and delays. Discrete-time analogues of the continuous-time networks are formulated and the existence and global exponential stability of positive periodic solutions are studied using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory and Lyapunov functionals. It is shown that the existence and global exponential stability of positive periodic solutions of the continuous-time networks are preserved by the discrete-time analogues under some restriction on the discretization step-size. An example is given to illustrate the results obtained.
