Abstract

In this paper, discrete-time analogues of continuous-time neural networks with continuously distributed delays and periodic inputs are investigated without assuming Lipschitz conditions on the activation functions. The discrete-time analogues are considered to be numerical discretizations of the continuous-time networks and we study their dynamical characteristics. By employing Halanay-type inequality, we obtain easily verifiable sufficient conditions ensuring that every solutions of the discrete-time analogue converge exponentially to the unique periodic solutions. It is shown that the discrete-time analogues inherit the periodicity of the continuous-time networks. The results obtained can be regarded as a generalization to the discontinuous case of previous results established for delayed neural networks possessing smooth neuron activation.
