SpringerPlus volume 4, Article number: 722 (2015)
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with time-varying delays. Under some suitable conditions, we establish some criteria on the existence and global exponential stability of the almost automorphic solutions of the networks. Numerical simulations are given to support the theoretical findings.
Background
It is well known that shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with delay have been successfully applied in variety of areas such as signal processing, pattern recognition, chemical processes, nuclear reactors, biological systems, static image processing, associative memories, optimization problems and so on (Roska and Chua 1992; Chua and Yang 1988a, b; Chua and Roska 1990; Zhang and Shao 2013). In the past decades, there have been extensive results on the dynamical behavior of shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks networks such as the existence and stability of equilibrium points, periodic solutions, almost periodic solutions and anti-periodic solutions, etc. We refer the reader to (Wang et al. 2014a, b; Song et al. 2012; Fan and Shao 2010; Li and Wang 2012; Xia et al. 2007; Peng and Wang 2013; Bouzerdoum and Pinter 1993; Chen and Zhao 2008; Xia et al. 2007; Shao 2008; Yang and Cao 2007; Zhang 2013; Huang et al. 2010).
In particular, we shall point out that almost periodicity is universal than periodicity in real word, moreover, almost automorphic functions, which were introduced by Bochner, are much more general than almost periodic functions. The almost automorphic solutions have potential applications in various fields such as linear and nonlinear evolution equations, integro-differential and functional-differential equations, dynamical systems and so on (Cuevas et al. 2012; N’Gérékata 2005). Almost automorphic solutions in the context of differential equations were studied by several authors. We refer the reader to (Hilger 1990; N’Guérékata 2004, 2005; Goldstein and N’Guérékata 2005; Ezzinbi et al. 2007; Chérif and Nahia 2013; Chérif 2014; Wang and Li 2013; Lizama and Mesquita 2013). However, to the best of our knowledge, there are very few papers published on the almost automorphic solutions of shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with time-varying delays (Li and Yang 2014; Abbas et al. 2014).
Inspired by the discuss above, in this paper, we consider the following shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with time-varying delays
where \(C_{ij}\) denotes the cell at the (i, j) position of the lattice. The r-neighborhood \(N_r(i,j)\) of \(C_{ij}\) is given as
where \(i=1,2,\ldots ,m,j=1,2,\ldots ,n,\) \(N_q(i,j)\) is similarly specified, \(x_{ij}\) is the activity of the cell \(C_{ij}\), \(L_{ij}(t)\) is the external input to \(C_{ij}\), the function \(a_{ij}(t)>0\) represents the passive decay rate of the cell activity, \(C_{ij}^{kl}\) and \(B_{ij}^{kl}\) are the connection or coupling strength of postsynaptic activity of the cell transmitted to the cell \(C_{ij}\), and the activity functions f(.) and g(.) are continuous functions representing the output or firing rate of the cell \(C_{kl}\), and \(\tau _{kl}(t)\ge 0\) corresponds to the transmission delay, the kernel \(K_{ij}\) is a piecewise continuous integrable function and satisfies
It is easy to see that system (1) is equivalent to the form
The main aim of this paper is to establish a set of sufficient conditions for the existence and exponential stability of almost automorphic solutions for model (3).
The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. In "Preliminary results", we introduce the basic properties of almost automorphic functions, some necessary notations, definitions and preliminaries which will be used later. In "Existence of almost automorphic solutions" , we present some sufficient conditions for the existence of almost automorphic solutions of (3). Some sufficient conditions on the global exponential stability of almost automorphic solutions of (3) are established in "Exponential stability of almost automorphic solutions". An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results in "Numerical example" . A brief conclusion is drawn in "Conclusions".
Preliminary results
In this section, we would like to recall some basic definitions and lemmas related to the concept of almost automorphy which shall come into play later on.
Definition 2.1
(Bochner 1962) A continuous function \(f : \mathbb {R}\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^n\) is said to be almost automorphic if for every sequence of real numbers \((s_n^{'})_{n\in \mathbb {N}}\), there exists a subsequence \((s_n)_{n\in \mathbb {N}}\) such that \(g(t) :=\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty }f (t+s_n)\) is well defined for each \(t \in \mathbb {R}\), and \(\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty }g (t-s_n)=f(t)\) for each \(t\in \mathbb {R}.\)
Remark 2.1
(Chérif 2014) Note that the function g in definition above is measurable but not necessarily continuous. Moreover, if g is continuous, then f is uniformly continuous. Besides, if the convergence above is uniform in \(t\in \mathbb {R},\) then f is almost periodic. Denote by \(AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^n)\) the collection of all almost automorphic functions, then
where \(AP(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^n)\) and \(BC(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^n)\) are respectively the collection of all almost periodic functions and the set of bounded continuous functions from \(\mathbb {R}\) to \(\mathbb {R}^n.\)
Lemma 2.1
(N’Guérékata 2005) For all \(f,f_1,f_2\in AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^n)\) , one has
-
1.
\(f_1+f_2\in AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^n)\).
-
2.
\(\lambda f \in AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^n)\) for any scalar \(\lambda \in \mathbb {R}\).
-
3.
\(f_\alpha \in AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^n)\), where \(f_\alpha : \mathbb {R}\rightarrow X\) is defined by \(f_\alpha (.)=f(.+\alpha ).\)
-
4.
Let \(f\in AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^n)\) , then the range \(R_f:=\{f(t),t\in \mathbb {R}\}\) is relatively compact in X, thus f is bounded in norm.
-
5.
If \(f_n\rightarrow f\) uniformly on \(\mathbb {R}\) , where \(f_n\in AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^n)\) , then \(f\in AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^n)\).
-
6.
\((AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^n), ||.||_\infty )\) is a Banach space.
Definition 2.2
A function \(f\in C(\mathbb {R} \times \mathbb {R}^n, \mathbb {R}^n)\) is said to be almost automorphic in \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) for each \(x\in X\) if for every sequence of real numbers \((s_n^{'})_{n\in \mathbb {N}}\), there exists a subsequence \((s_n)_{n\in \mathbb {N}}\) such that \(g(t, x):= \lim _{n\rightarrow \infty } f(t + s_n, x)\) is well defined for each \(t\in \mathbb {R}\), \(x\in \mathbb {R}^n\) and \(\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty } g(t-s_n, x) = f (t, x)\) for each \(t\in \mathbb {R}\), \(x\in \mathbb {R}^n\). The collection of such functions will be denoted by \(AA(\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}^n,\mathbb {R}^n).\)
Lemma 2.2
(Diagana et al. 2008) Let \(f: \mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^n\) be an almost automorphic function in \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) for each \(x\in \mathbb {R}^n\) and assume that f satisfies a Lipschitz condition in x uniformly in \(t\in \mathbb {R}\). Let \(\varphi : \mathbb {R}\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^n\) be an almost automorphic function. Then the function \(\phi : t\mapsto \phi (t)= f (t, \varphi (t))\) is almost automorphic.
Definition 2.3
The almost automorphic solution \(x_{ij}(.)=(x_{11}(.), x_{12}(.),\ldots , x_{mn}(.))\) of SICNNs is said to be globally exponentially stable, if, for any solution \(x(.)=(x_{11}(.), x_{12}(.),\cdots ,x_{mn}(.))\), there exist constants \(M>0\) and \(\mu >0\) such that for all \(t\in \mathbb {R}\),
Lemma 2.3
(Hale 1977) (The upper-right Dini derivative) Let \(f: \mathbb {R} \rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) be a continuous function, then the upper-right Dini derivative \(\frac{D^{+}f(t)}{dt}\) is defined by
Remark 2.2
(Abbas et al. 2014) The upper-right Dini derivative \(\frac{D^{+}f(t)}{dt}\) of |f(t)| is given by
where sign(.) is the signum function.
Existence of almost automorphic solutions
In this section, we will establish sufficient conditions on the existence of almost automorphic solutions of (1). Denote
Throughout this paper, we make the assumptions as follows.
-
(H1)
There exists constants \(L_f>0,L_g>0,\,M_f>0\) and \(M_g>0\) such that for all \(u, v\in \mathbb {R}\),
$$\begin{aligned} |f(u)-f(v)|\le L_f|u-v|,|g(u)-g(v)|\le L_g|u-v|, \, |f(u)|\le M_f, \quad |g(u)|\le M_g. \end{aligned}$$Furthermore, \(f(0)=g(0)=0.\)
-
(H2)
For \(ij\in \Lambda ,\) \(L(.)=(L_{11}(.),L_{12}(.),\cdots ,L_{mn}(.))\in AA(\mathbb {R}, \mathbb {R}^{m+n})\) and \(a_{ij}(t), C_{ij}^{kl}\) and \(B_{ij}^{kl}\) all almost automorphic.
-
(H3)
For \(ij\in \Lambda ,\)
$$\begin{aligned} \gamma =\max _{ij\in \Lambda }\sup _{t\in \mathbb {R}}\Bigg \{\frac{\sum _{C_{kl}\in N_r(i,j)} |C_{ij}^{kl}(t)|L_f+\frac{M}{u}\sum _{C_{kl}\in N_q(i,j)}|B_{ij}^{kl}(t)|L_g}{a^{-}}\Bigg \}<1, \quad \frac{||L||_\infty }{a^{-}(1-\gamma )}<1, \end{aligned}$$where \(a_{ij}^{-}=\min _{t\in \mathbb {R}}a_{ij}(t), a^{-}=\min _{ij\in \Lambda }a_{ij}^{-}.\)
-
(H4)
For \(ij\in \Lambda ,\) \(\max _{ij\in \Lambda }\sup _{s\in \mathbb {R}}\Big \{\frac{\Pi _{ij}}{a^{-}}\Big \}<1,\) where
$$\begin{aligned} \Pi _{ij}=\sum _{C_{kl}\in N_r(i,j)} |C_{ij}^{kl}(s)|(M_f+L_f)+\sum _{C_{kl}\in N_q(i,j)} |B_{ij}^{kl}(s)|\Bigg (1+\frac{||L||_\infty }{a^{-}(1-\gamma )}\Bigg )L_g \int _0^\infty |K_{ij}(u)|du. \end{aligned}$$ -
(H5)
The kernel \(K_{ij}(.)\) is almost automorphic and there exist \(M>0\) and \(u>0\) such that
$$\begin{aligned} |K_{ij}(t)|\le Me^{-ut}. \end{aligned}$$
Lemma 3.1
Suppose that assumptions (H1) and (H5) hold and \(x_{ij}(.)\in AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R})\) , then
belongs to \(AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R})\).
Proof
By the composition theorem of almost automorphic functions (N’Guérékata 2005), the functions \(\psi : s\mapsto g(x_{kl}(s))\) belongs to \(AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R})\) whenever \(x_{kl}\in AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^{m+n})\). Now, let \((s_n^{'})\) be a sequence of real numbers. By (H5), we can extract a subsequence \((s_n)\) of \((s_n^{'})\) such that for all \(t, s\in \mathbb {R}\),
and
Define
obviously,
In view of Lebesgue Dominated Convergence Theorem and (H2), we have for all \(t\in \mathbb {R}\),
Similarly we have for all \(t\in \mathbb {R}\),
which implies that
belongs to \(AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R})\). The proof of Lemma 3.1 is completed.
Define the nonlinear operator \(\Phi\) by: for each \(\varphi AA\in (\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^{m+n})\),
Lemma 3.2
If (H1–H3) are satisfied. Then \(\Phi\) maps \(AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^{m+n})\) into itself.
Proof
First of all, let us check that \(\Phi\) is well defined. By Lemma 2.1, we know that the space \(AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^{m+n})\) is translation invariant. Besides, by Lemmas 2.2 and Lemma 3.1, we can conclude that the function
belongs to \(AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R})\). Then (4) can be rewritten as
Let \((s_n^{'})\) be a sequence of real numbers. By (H4) we can extract a subsequence \((s_n)\) of \((s_n^{'})\) such that for all \(t,s \in \mathbb {R}\),
and
Define
Then
Applying the Lebesgue DominatedConvergence Theorem, we have
In a same way, we can prove that
Thus the function \((\Phi \varphi )\) belong to \(AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R})\). The proof of Lemma 3.2 is completed.
Theorem 3.1
If (H1–H5) are satisfied. Then system (3) has a unique almost automorphic solution in the region
where
Proof
It is easy to see that
is a closed convex subset of \(AA(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^{m+n}).\) Then
Therefore, for any \(\varphi \in D\) and by (13), we see easily that
Now we prove that \(\Phi\) is a self-mapping from D to D. In fact, for arbitrary \(\varphi \in D\), it follows that
which implies that \((\Phi \varphi )\in D.\) Next, we prove the mapping \(\Phi\) is a contraction mapping of D. In view of (H2), for any \(\varphi ,\psi \in D,\) we have
where
Then it follows from (H4) that \(\Phi\) is contracting operator in D. Thus there exists a unique almost automorphic solution \(x^*\in D\) of (3) that is \(\Phi (x^*)=x^*.\) The proof of Theorem 3.1 is completed.
Exponential stability of almost automorphic solutions
In this section, we will obtain the exponential stability of the almost automorphic solutions of system (1).
Theorem 4.1
Suppose that (H1–H5) are fulfilled. If the condition (H6)
holds, then the almost automorphic solution of system (3) in D is globally exponentially stable.
Proof
By Theorem 3.1, we know that (3) has an almost automorphic solution \(x(t)=(x_{11}(t),x_{12}(t),\ldots ,\) \(x_{mn}(t))^T\) with initial condition \(\varphi (t)=(\varphi _{11}(t),\varphi _{12}(t),\ldots ,\varphi _{mn}(t))^T\). Suppose that \(y(t)=(y_{11}(t),y_{12}(t),\ldots ,\) \(y_{mn}(t))^T\) is an arbitrary solution of (3) with initial condition \(\psi (t)=(\psi _{11}(t),\psi _{12}(t),\ldots ,\psi _{mn}(t))^T\). Denote \(u(t)=(u_{11}(t),u_{12}(t),\ldots ,u_{mn}(t))^T\), where \(u_{ij}(t)=y_{ij}(t)-x_{ij}(t), ij\in \Lambda .\) Set
Clearly, the functions \(t\rightarrow \Upsilon _{ij}, ij\in \Lambda ,\) are continuous on \(\mathbb {T}^{+}\) and by hypothesis (H6), \(\Upsilon _{ij}(0)<0.\) Thus, there exists a sufficiently small constant \(\nu\) such that \(\Upsilon _{ij}(\nu )<0.\) Take an arbitrary \(\varepsilon >0.\) Set
Then for all \(ij\in \Lambda ,\) and for all \(-\tau \le t\le 0,\) one has
Next, we shall prove that for all \(t>0,\)
Suppose the contrary. Let us denote \(A_{ij}=\{ t> 0, z_{ij} (t)> M + \varepsilon \}\). It follows that there exists \((ij)_0\in \Lambda\) such that \(A_{(ij)_0}\ne \emptyset\). Let
Clearly \(t_{ij} >0\) and for all \(-\tau \le t\le t_{ij}\). Further, one has \(z_{ij}(t)\le M+\varepsilon .\) Let us denote \(t_{{ij}_s} = \min _{ij\in \Lambda }t_{ij}.\) It follows that \(0<t_{{ij}_s}<+\infty .\) and for all \(-\tau \le t\le t_{{ij}_s}.\) Note that
Since \(x_{ij}(.)\) and \(x_{ij}^*(.)\) are solutions of (3), we get
It follows that
Then \(\Upsilon _{ij}(\nu )\ge 0\) which contradicts the fact that \(\Upsilon _{ij}(\nu )<0\). Thus we obtain that
Note that \(||x(t)-x_{ij}^*(t)||=\max _{ij\in \Lambda }|x_{ij}(t)x_{ij}^*(t)|,\) then letting \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\), we obtain
which means that the almost automorphic solution of (3) is globally exponentially stable. The proof of Theorem 4.2 is completed.
Remark 4.1
Shao (2008) studied the anti-periodic solutions of system (1) with the \(B_{ij}(t)=0, a_{ij}(t)=a_{ij}\) and \(\tau _{kl}=\tau (t)\). Peng and Huang (2009) investigated the existence and exponential stability of anti-periodic solutions for model (1) with \(C_{ij}(t)=0\) and \(a_{ij}(t)=a_{ij}.\) Zhao et al. (2010) considered anti-periodic solutions of model (1) with the \(B_{ij}(t)=0\) and \(\tau _{kl}=\tau (t)\). Peng and Wang (2011) analyzed the anti-periodic solutions for (1) with time-varying delays \(\sigma _{ij}(t)\) in leakage terms. Zhou et al. (2006a) discussed the existence and stability of almost periodic solutions for model (1) with \(C_{ij}(t)=0\). Li and Wang (2012) focused on the almost periodic solutions for model (1) with \(C_{ij}(t)=0\) on time scales. In addition, there are many papers that have investigated almost periodic solutions or convergence behavior of the special form or a more general form of model (1). We refer the reader to (Zhao and Zhang 2008; Cai et al. 2008; Huang and Cao 2003; Ding et al. 2008; Liu and Huang 2006, 2007; Liu 2007, 2009a, b; Fan and Shao 2010; Liu et al. 2006; Shao et al. 2009; Xia et al. 2007; Zhou et al. 2006b; Liu and Ding 2014; Li and Wang 2012; Li et al. 2008; Meng and Li 2008; Li and Huang 2008). In this paper, we consider the almost automorphic solutions of (1), which complement with some previous studies in (Shao 2008; Peng and Huang 2009; Zhao et al. 2010; Peng and Wang 2013; Zhou et al. 2006a; Zhao and Zhang 2008; Cai et al. 2008; Huang and Cao 2003; Ding et al. 2008; Liu and Huang 2007; Liu 2007, 2009a, b; Fan and Shao 2010; Liu and Huang 2006; Liu et al. 2006; Shao et al. 2009; Xia et al. 2007; Zhou et al. 2006b; Liu and Ding 2014; Li and Wang 2012; Li et al. 2008; Meng and Li 2008; Li and Huang 2008).
Remark 4.2
In Li and Yang (2014), authors considered the almost automorphic solutions for neutral type neural networks with delays in leakage on time ccales, in Abbas et al. (2014), authors considered the almost automorphic solutions for neural networks with impulses. All the methods can not be applied to this paper to obtained our results in this paper. Therefore our results are completely new.
Numerical example
In this section, we will give an example to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our main results obtained in previous sections. Considering the following shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with time-varying delays
where \(f(u)=0.5(|u+1|-|u-1|), K_{ij}=\cos \left( \frac{1}{2+\sin t+\sin \sqrt{2}t}\right)\) and
Let \(r=q=1, \tau _{kl}(t)=0.005\). Then we get \(L_f=L_g=M_g=M_f=1, a^{-}=2, ||L||_\infty =0.005, K_{ij}(t)\le e^{-t}, M=u=1, \tau =0.005\) and
Hence
Thus all assumptions in Theorems 4.1 and 4.2 are fulfilled. Thus we can conclude that (27) has an almost automorphic solution, which is globally exponentially stable. The results are verified by the numerical simulations in Fig. 1.
Conclusions
In this paper, we consider a class of shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with time-varying delays. Some sufficient conditions for the existence and exponential stability of almost automorphic solutions for the shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with time-varying delays have been established. It is shown that the time delay has no effect on the existence of almost automorphic solutions for system (1) but has important effect on the global exponential stability of almost automorphic solutions for system (1). To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time to deal with the almost automorphic solution for the shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with time-varying delays. Moreover, our criteria are easy to check and apply in practice and are of prime importance and great interest in many application fields and the designs of networks. Our results complement with some previous ones. The method of this paper can be applied directly to many other neural networks, such as BAM neural networks, Hopfield neural networks and so on.
