Abstract

This paper is divided into four parts. Part 1 contains a survey of three neural networks found in the literature and which motivate this work. In Part 2 we model a neural network with a very general integral form of memory, prove a boundedness result, and obtain a first result on asymptotic stability of equilibrium points. The system is very general and we do not solve the stability problem. In the third section we show that the neural networks are very robust. The fourth section concerns simplification of the systems from the second part. Several asymptotic stability results are obtained for the simplified systems.
