## Stability in asymmetric Hopfield nets with transmission delays.(English)Zbl 0815.92001

Summary: Sufficient conditions are derived for the delay independent stability of the equilibria in Hopfield’s graded response networks of the type $dx_ i (t)/dt = - b_ i x_ i(t) + \sum^ n_{j=1} a_{ij}f_ j \bigl( \mu_ j x_ j(t - \tau_{ij}) \bigr) + F_ i(t) \quad (i = 1,2, \dots,n)$ when the external inputs $$F_ i$$ are held temporally uniform. A generalization to continuously distributed delays is briefly indicated. Several illustrative examples are numerically simulated and the results of simulations are graphically displayed.
