Unified analysis on multistablity of fraction-order multidimensional-valued memristive neural networks

This article provides a unified analysis of the multistability of fraction-order multidimensional-valued memristive neural networks (FOMVMNNs) with unbounded time-varying delays. Firstly, based on the knowledge of fractional differentiation and memristors, a unified model is established. This model is a unified form of real-valued, complex-valued, and quaternion-valued systems. Then, based on a unified method, the number of equilibrium points for FOMVMNNs is discussed. The sufficient conditions for determining the number of equilibrium points have been obtained. By using 1-norm to construct Lyapunov functions, the unified criteria for multistability of FOMVMNNs are obtained, these criteria are less conservative and easier to verify. Moreover, the attraction basins of the stable equilibrium points are estimated. Finally, two numerical simulation examples are provided to verify the correctness of the results.

Mittag-Leffler stability of fractional-order quaternion-valued memristive neural networks with generalized piecewise constant argument

This paper studies the global Mittag-Leffler (M-L) stability problem for fractional-order quaternion-valued memristive neural networks (FQVMNNs) with generalized piecewise constant argument (GPCA). First, a novel lemma is established, which is used to investigate the dynamic behaviors of quaternion-valued memristive neural networks (QVMNNs). Second, by using the theories of differential inclusion, set-valued mapping, and Banach fixed point, several sufficient criteria are derived to ensure the existence and uniqueness (EU) of the solution and equilibrium point for the associated systems. Then, by constructing Lyapunov functions and employing some inequality techniques, a set of criteria are proposed to ensure the global M-L stability of the considered systems. The obtained results in this paper not only extends previous works, but also provides new algebraic criteria with a larger feasible range. Finally, two numerical examples are introduced to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.

Mittag-Leffler Type Stability of Delay Generalized Proportional Caputo Fractional Differential Equations: Cases of Non-Instantaneous Impulses, Instantaneous Impulses and without Impulses

In this paper, nonlinear differential equations with a generalized proportional Caputo fractional derivative and finite delay are studied in this paper. The eventual presence of impulses in the equations is considered, and the statement of initial value problems in three cases is defined: namely non-instantaneous impulses, instantaneous impulses and no impulses. The relations between these three cases are discussed. Additionally, some stability properties are investigated. We apply the Mittag–Leffler function which plays a vital role and which gives well-known bounds on the norm of the solutions. The symmetry of this function about a line and the bounds is a property that plays an important role in stability. Several sufficient conditions are presented via appropriate new comparison results and the modified Razumikhin method. The results generalize several known results in the literature.

Unified Analysis on the Global Dissipativity and Stability of Fractional-Order Multidimension-Valued Memristive Neural Networks With Time Delay

The unified criteria are analyzed on the global dissipativity and stability for the delayed fractional-order systems of multidimension-valued memristive neural networks (FSMVMNNs) in this article. First, based on the comprehensive knowledge about multidimensional algebra, fractional derivatives, and nonsmooth analysis, we establish the unified model for the studied FSMVMNNs in order to propose a more uniform method to analyze the dynamic behaviors of multidimensional neural networks. Then, by mainly applying the Lyapunov method, employing several new lemmas, and solving some mathematical difficulties, without any separation, we acquire the unified and concise criteria. The derived criteria have many advantages in a smaller calculation, lower conservatism, more diversity, and higher flexibility. Finally, we provide two numerical examples to express the availability and improvements of the theoretical results.

Research on Several Key Problems of Medical Image Segmentation and Virtual Surgery

Medical images play an important role in modern medical diagnosis. Many clinicians make correct and appropriate diagnosis and treatment plans by means of medical images. With the development of science and technology, the application of medical image needs not only to simply read the image, but also to fuse advanced technology to analyze and process the image from a deeper level, such as the proposal of virtual surgery. Therefore, this article focuses on several key issues of medical image segmentation and virtual surgery. First, medical images are preprocessed by gray level transformation, interpolation, and noise elimination techniques. Second, level set model-based segmentation algorithm is adopted and improved. Finally, a constrained Delaunay tetrahedron method based on a point-by-point insertion method is proposed to reconstruct the tetrahedron mesh model. In order to eliminate the thin element, the tetrahedron mesh model is optimized. The simulation results show that this article improves the segmentation algorithm based on the level set model, which effectively improves the contradiction between the convergence accuracy and the convergence speed of the algorithm. The proposed tetrahedral mesh reconstruction algorithm realizes the generation of tetrahedral finite element meshes with complex boundaries and improves the quality of the volume model by optimizing the model.

Artificial neural networks: a practical review of applications involving fractional calculus

In this work, a bibliographic analysis on artificial neural networks (ANNs) using fractional calculus (FC) theory has been developed to summarize the main features and applications of the ANNs. ANN is a mathematical modeling tool used in several sciences and engineering fields. FC has been mainly applied on ANNs with three different objectives, such as systems stabilization, systems synchronization, and parameters training, using optimization algorithms. FC and some control strategies have been satisfactorily employed to attain the synchronization and stabilization of ANNs. To show this fact, in this manuscript are summarized, the architecture of the systems, the control strategies, and the fractional derivatives used in each research work, also, the achieved goals are presented. Regarding the parameters training using optimization algorithms issue, in this manuscript, the systems types, the fractional derivatives involved, and the optimization algorithm employed to train the ANN parameters are also presented. In most of the works found in the literature where ANNs and FC are involved, the authors focused on controlling the systems using synchronization and stabilization. Furthermore, recent applications of ANNs with FC in several fields such as medicine, cryptographic, image processing, robotic are reviewed in detail in this manuscript. Works with applications, such as chaos analysis, functions approximation, heat transfer process, periodicity, and dissipativity, also were included. Almost to the end of the paper, several future research topics arising on ANNs involved with FC are recommended to the researchers community. From the bibliographic review, we concluded that the Caputo derivative is the most utilized derivative for solving problems with ANNs because its initial values take the same form as the differential equations of integer-order.

Novel Inequalities to Global Mittag-Leffler Synchronization and Stability Analysis of Fractional-Order Quaternion-Valued Neural Networks

This article is concerned with the problem of the global Mittag-Leffler synchronization and stability for fractional-order quaternion-valued neural networks (FOQVNNs). The systems of FOQVNNs, which contain either general activation functions or linear threshold ones, are successfully established. Meanwhile, two distinct methods, such as separation and nonseparation, have been employed to solve the transformation of the studied systems of FOQVNNs, which dissatisfy the commutativity of quaternion multiplication. Moreover, two novel inequalities are deduced based on the general parameters. Compared with the existing inequalities, the new inequalities have their unique superiorities because they can make full use of the additional parameters. Due to the Lyapunov theory, two novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals (LKFs) can be easily constructed. The novelty of LKFs comes from a wider range of parameters, which can be involved in the construction of LKFs. Furthermore, mainly based on the new inequalities and LKFs, more multiple and more flexible criteria are efficiently obtained for the discussed problem. Finally, four numerical examples are given to demonstrate the related effectiveness and availability of the derived criteria.
