“…Two types of time delays are generally considered in nonlinear system in the literature, i. e., the retarded-type delays and neutral-type delays [15,44]. Retarded-type NNs that have only time-delays in the states are not good enough to characterize precisely the complicated dynamic properties of the neural cells in real world, so neutral-type NNs that involve time delays in the time derivatives of states have attracted much attention [5,8,18,20,21,22,23,36,39,41,42].…”
