On global exponential periodicity of dynamical neural systems

Exponential periodicity of continuous-time neural networks with delays is investigated. Without assuming the boundedness and differentiability of the activation functions, some new sufficient conditions ensuring existence and uniqueness of periodic solution for a general class of neural systems are obtained. Discrete-time analogue of the continuous-time system with periodic input is formulated and we study their dynamical characteristics. The exponential periodicity of the continuous-time system is preserved by the discrete-time analogue without any restriction imposed on the uniform discretization step-size.
