Existence and Global Exponential Stability of Pseudo Almost Periodic Solutions for Neutral Type Quaternion-Valued Neural Networks with Delays in the Leakage Term on Time Scales

We propose a class of neutral type quaternion-valued neural networks with delays in the leakage termon time scales that can unify the discrete-time and the continuous-time neural networks. In order to avoid the difficulty brought by the noncommutativity of quaternion multiplication, we first decompose the quaternion-valued system into four real-valued systems. Then, by applying the exponential dichotomic theory of linear dynamic equations on time scales, Banach's fixed point theorem, the theory of calculus on time scales, and inequality techniques, we obtain some sufficient conditions on the existence and global exponential stability of pseudo almost periodic solutions for this class of neural networks. Our results are completely new even for both the case of the neural networks governed by differential equations and the case of the neural networks governed by difference equations and show that, under a simple condition, the continuous-time quaternion-valued network and its corresponding discrete-time quaternion-valued network have the same dynamical behavior for the pseudo almost periodicity. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the feasibility of our results.
