Bifurcation Study on Fractional-Order Cohen–Grossberg Neural Networks Involving Delays

Abstract EN

This work is chiefly concerned with the stability behavior and the appearance of Hopf bifurcation of fractional-order delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural networks.

Firstly, we study the stability and the appearance of Hopf bifurcation of the involved neural networks with identical delay ϑ1=ϑ2=ϑ.

Secondly, the sufficient criterion to guarantee the stability and the emergence of Hopf bifurcation for given neural networks with the delay ϑ2=0 is set up.

Thirdly, we derive the sufficient condition ensuring the stability and the appearance of Hopf bifurcation for given neural networks with the delay ϑ1=0.

The investigation manifests that the delay plays a momentous role in stabilizing networks and controlling the Hopf bifurcation of the addressed fractional-order delayed neural networks.

At last, software simulation results successfully verified the rationality of the analytical results.

The theoretical findings of this work can be applied to design, control, and optimize neural networks.
