Dynamics of complex-valued neural networks with variable coefficients and proportional delays.

In this paper, the dynamics including boundedness and stability for a general class of complex-valued neural networks with variable coefficients and proportional delays are investigated. By employing inequality techniques and mathematical analysis method, some sufficient criteria to guarantee boundedness and global exponential stability are established for the considered neural networks. As a special case that the coefficients of networks are constants, sufficient criteria are also derived to guarantee the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of the equilibrium point. This work generalizes and improves previously known results, and the obtained criteria can be tested and applied easily in practice. An illustrative example demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
