On impulsive autoassociative neural networks

Many systems existing in physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and information science can be characterized by impulsive dynamics caused by abrupt jumps at certain instants during the process. These complex dynamical behaviors can be modeled by impulsive differential systems or impulsive neural networks. This paper formulates and studies a new model of impulsive autoassociative neural networks. Several fundamental issues, such as global exponential stability and existence and uniqueness of equilibria of such neural networks, are established.
