A comment on "On equilibria, stability, and instability of Hopfield neural networks" [and reply]

It is pointed out that the main analysis results about the existence, uniqueness, and global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium of a continuous-time Hopfield type neural network given in the paper by Zhi-Hong Guan et al. (2000) are special cases of relevant ones previously obtained in the literature. In reply the original authors consider the reasoning of Xue-Bin Liang's comments and state that their analysis method is in fact different to existing ones.
