Abstract

We study the dynamical behavior of a class of Hopfield neural networks with distributed delays under dynamical thresholds. Some new criteria ensuring the existence, uniqueness, and global asymptotic stability of equilibrium point are derived. In the results, we do not require the activation functions to satisfy the Lipschitz condition, and also not to be bounded, differentiable, or monotone nondecreasing. Moreover, the symmetry of the connection matrix is not also necessary. Thus, our results improve some previous works in the literature. These conditions have great importance in designs and applications of the global asymptotic stability for Hopfield neural networks involving distributed delays under dynamical thresholds.
