Description
Summary:The stability issue is investigated for a class of stochastic neural networks with time delays in the leakage terms. Different from the previous literature, we are concerned with the almost sure stability. By using the LaSalle invariant principle of stochastic delay differential equations, Itô’s formula, and stochastic analysis theory, some novel sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the almost sure stability of the equilibrium point. In particular, the weak infinitesimal operator of Lyapunov functions in this paper is not required to be negative, which is necessary in the study of the traditional moment stability. Finally, two numerical examples and their simulations are provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results and demonstrate that time delays in the leakage terms do contribute to the stability of stochastic neural networks.
