Abstract
A stability analysis of the equilibrium position for a given class of Hopfield neural networks with time delays is presented. The robustness of the equilibrium stability with respect to variations in the time delays, system parameters, and interconnection matrix is analyzed. Three approaches are presented which account in various ways for stability of the equilibrium with respect to these perturbations.
