Global dissipativity of stochastic neural networks with time delay

Liao and Wang [Global dissipativity of continuous-time recurrent neural networks with time delay, Phys. Rev. E 68 (2003) 016118] firstly studied the dissipativity of neural networks. In this paper, the neural network model is generalized to a stochastic case, and the global dissipativity in mean of such stochastic system is investigated. By constructing several proper Lyapunov functionals combining with Jensenʹs inequality, Itôʹs formula and some analytic techniques, several sufficient conditions for the global dissipativity in mean of such stochastic neural networks are derived in LMIs forms, which can be easily verified in practice. Three numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our criteria.
