Boundedness and complete stability of complex-valued neural networks with time delay.

In this paper, the boundedness and complete stability of complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) with time delay are studied. Some conditions to guarantee the boundedness of the CVNNs are derived using local inhibition. Moreover, under the boundedness conditions, a compact set that globally attracts all the trajectories of the network is also given. Additionally, several conditions in terms of real-valued linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) for complete stability of the CVNNs are established via the energy minimization method and the approach that converts the complex-valued LMIs to real-valued ones. Examples with simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.
