Abstract
This paper investigates the stability of impulsive fractional-order complex-valued BAM neural networks with time varying delays. As the extension of fractional-order real-valued BAM neural networks, fractional-order complex-valued BAM neural networks have complex-valued states, synaptic weights, and the activation functions. Two different kinds of activation functions are considered, along with popular bounded and Lipschitz-kind activation functions. By using Lyapunov function and Homomorphic mapping theorem, sufficient conditions for the existence of unique equilibrium and global asymptotic stability of complex-valued systems are derived. In derivation we separated nonlinear complex-valued activation functions into real and imaginary parts. Moreover, Mittag-Leffler stability for BAM neural networks(BAMNNs) have been proposed when the nonlinear complex activation functions are bounded. Simulation results are presented to prove the efficiency of the obtained methods.
