A Generalized Hopfield Network for Nonsmooth Constrained Convex Optimization: Lie Derivative Approach

This paper proposes a generalized Hopfield network for solving general constrained convex optimization problems. First, the existence and the uniqueness of solutions to the generalized Hopfield network in the Filippov sense are proved. Then, the Lie derivative is introduced to analyze the stability of the network using a differential inclusion. The optimality of the solution to the nonsmooth constrained optimization problems is shown to be guaranteed by the enhanced Fritz John conditions. The convergence rate of the generalized Hopfield network can be estimated by the second-order derivative of the energy function. The effectiveness of the proposed network is evaluated on several typical nonsmooth optimization problems and used to solve the hierarchical and distributed model predictive control four-tank benchmark.

Synchronization of Memristor-Based Coupling Recurrent Neural Networks With Time-Varying Delays and Impulses

Synchronization of an array of linearly coupled memristor-based recurrent neural networks with impulses and time-varying delays is investigated in this brief. Based on the Lyapunov function method, an extended Halanay differential inequality and a new delay impulsive differential inequality, some sufficient conditions are derived, which depend on impulsive and coupling delays to guarantee the exponential synchronization of the memristor-based recurrent neural networks. Impulses with and without delay and time-varying delay are considered for modeling the coupled neural networks simultaneously, which renders more practical significance of our current research. Finally, numerical simulations are given to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Exponential stability of memristor-based synchronous switching neural networks with time delays

In this paper, we study the existence, uniqueness and stability of memristor-based synchronous switching neural networks with time delays. Several criteria of exponential stability are given by introducing multiple Lyapunov functions. In comparison with the existing publications on simplice memristive neural networks or switching neural networks, we consider a system with a series of switchings, these switchings are assumed to be synchronous with memristive switching mechanism. Moreover, the proposed stability conditions are straightforward and convenient and can reflect the impact of time delay on the stability. Two examples are also presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Synchronization of neural networks with stochastic perturbation via aperiodically intermittent control

In this paper, the synchronization problem for neural networks with stochastic perturbation is studied with intermittent control via adaptive aperiodicity. Under the framework of stochastic theory and Lyapunov stability method, we develop some techniques of intermittent control with adaptive aperiodicity to achieve the synchronization of a class of neural networks, modeled by stochastic systems. Some effective sufficient conditions are established for the realization of synchronization of the underlying network. Numerical simulations of two examples are provided to illustrate the theoretical results obtained in the paper.

Lag Synchronization of Switched Neural Networks via Neural Activation Function and Applications in Image Encryption

This paper investigates the problem of global exponential lag synchronization of a class of switched neural networks with time-varying delays via neural activation function and applications in image encryption. The controller is dependent on the output of the system in the case of packed circuits, since it is hard to measure the inner state of the circuits. Thus, it is critical to design the controller based on the neuron activation function. Comparing the results, in this paper, with the existing ones shows that we improve and generalize the results derived in the previous literature. Several examples are also given to illustrate the effectiveness and potential applications in image encryption.
