In this paper, we propose a condition on global asymptotic stability for recurrent type complex-valued neural networks with a class of activation functions. Those networks have states, connection weights, and activation functions, which are all complex-valued. Such networks have been studied concerning their abilities of information processing, because of their attractive features which are not existent in real-valued counterparts. In particular, the activation function of a complex-valued neuron is an important factor that characterizes the dynamics of complex-valued neural networks. We propose a class of activation functions which ensure the global asymptotic stability, together with a condition on the connection weights. Furthermore, we apply the proposed dynamical networks and the stability condition to a convex programming problem with nonlinear constraints.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
