Global stability of Clifford-valued recurrent neural networks with time delays

In this paper, we study an issue of stability analysis for Clifford-valued recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with time delays. As an extension of real-valued neural network, the Clifford-valued neural network, which includes familiar complex-valued neural network and quaternion-valued neural network as special cases, has been an active research field recently. To the best of our knowledge, the stability problem for Clifford-valued systems with time delays has still not been solved. We first explore the existence and uniqueness for the equilibrium of delayed Clifford-valued RNNs, based on which some sufficient conditions ensuring the global asymptotic and exponential stability of such systems are obtained in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI). The simulation result of a numerical example is also provided to substantiate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
