Abstract
In this paper, the stability analysis problem is dealt with for a class of periodic neural networks with both discrete and distributed time delays. Both global asymptotic and exponential stabilities are considered. The existence of the periodic solutions of the addressed neural networks is briefly discussed. Then, by constructing different Lyapnuov--Krasovskii functionals and using some analysis techniques, several new easy-to-test sufficient conditions are derived, respectively, for checking the globally asymptotic stability and globally exponential stability of the delayed neural networks. These results are useful in the design and applications of globally exponentially stable and periodic oscillatory neural circuits for recurrent neural networks with mixed time delays. A simulation example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results obtained.
