## Stability of artificial neural networks with impulses.(English)Zbl 1058.34008

The author studies the existence and uniqueness of the positive equilibrium of the following impulsive problem
$\frac{dx_i(t)}{dt}=-a_ix_i(t)+\sum_{j=1}^m b_{ij}f_j(x_j(t))+c_i,~~t>t_0,~t\neq t_k,$
$x(t_0+)=x_0\in\mathbb{R}^m,$
$x_i(t_0+)-x_i(t_k-)=I_k(x_i(t_k-)),~~i=1,2,\dots,m,~~~k=1,2,\dots,~~t_k\rightarrow\infty,$
and its discrete analog $y_i(n+1)=\frac{1}{1+a_ih}y_i(n)+\frac{h}{1+a_ih}\sum_{j=1}^m b_{ij}f_j(y_j(n)),~~i=1,2,\dots,m,~~ n>n_0,$
$y_j(n_j+1)-y_j(n_j)=I_j(y_j(n_j)), ~~j=1,2,\dots.$ By constructing Lyapunov functions the author obtains explicit stability conditions for this equilibrium. A comparison with known results for nonimpulsive systems is presented.
