“…We also introduce a broad family of hypercomplex-valued activation functions and provide an important theorem concerning the stability (in the sense of Lyapunov) for discrete-time hypercomplex-valued Hopfield-type neural networks. In fact, the theorem presented in this paper can be applied for the stability analysis of many discrete-time HHNNs from the literature, including complex-valued (Jankowski et al, 1996;Zhou & Zurada, 2014;Kobayashi, 2017b), hyperbolic-valued (Kobayashi, 2013(Kobayashi, , 2016b, dual-numbered (Kobayashi, 2018a), tessarine-valued (Isokawa et al, 2010;Kobayashi, 2018c), quaternion-valued (Isokawa et al, 2008a;Valle & de Castro, 2018), and octonion-valued Hopfield neural networks (de Castro & Valle, 2018a).…”
