Finite-time boundedness for uncertain discrete neural networks with time-delays and Markovian jumps
2014
This paper is concerned with stochastic finite-time boundedness analysis for a class of uncertain discrete-time neural networks with Markovian jump parameters and time-delays. The concepts of stochastic finite-time stability and stochastic finite-time boundedness are first given for neural networks. Then, applying the Lyapunov approach and the linear matrix inequality technique, sufficient criteria on stochastic finite-time boundedness are provided for the class of nominal or uncertain discrete-time neural networks with Markovian jump parameters and time-delays. It is shown that the derived conditions are characterized in terms of the solution to these linear matrix inequalities. Finally, n…
Robust linear quadratic mean-field games in crowd-seeking social networks.
2013
We consider a social network where opinions evolve following a stochastic averaging process under the influence of adversarial disturbances. We provide a robust mean-field game model in the spirit of H∞-optimal control, establish existence of a mean-field equilibrium, and analyze its stochastic stability.
Diffusive neural network
2002
Abstract A non-connectionist model of a neuronal network based on passive diffusion of neurotransmitters is presented as an alternative to hard-wired artificial neural networks. Classic thermodynamical approach shows that the diffusive network is capable of exhibiting asymptotic stability and a dynamics resembling that of a chaotic system. Basic computational capabilities of the net are discussed based on the equivalence with a Turing machine. The model offers a way to represent mass-sustained brain functions in terms of recurrent behaviors in the phase space.
A novel strategy for solving the stochastic point location problem using a hierarchical searching scheme
2014
Stochastic point location (SPL) deals with the problem of a learning mechanism (LM) determining the optimal point on the line when the only input it receives are stochastic signals about the direction in which it should move. One can differentiate the SPL from the traditional class of optimization problems by the fact that the former considers the case where the directional information, for example, as inferred from an Oracle (which possibly computes the derivatives), suffices to achieve the optimization-without actually explicitly computing any derivatives. The SPL can be described in terms of a LM (algorithm) attempting to locate a point on a line. The LM interacts with a random environme…
The Random Neural Network Model for the On-line Multicast Problem
2005
In this paper we propose the adoption of the Random Neural Network Model for the solution of the dynamic version of the Steiner Tree Problem in Networks (SPN). The Random Neural Network (RNN) is adopted as a heuristic capable of improving solutions achieved by previously proposed dynamic algorithms. We adapt the RNN model in order to map the network characteristics during a multicast transmission. The proposed methodology is validated by means of extensive experiments.
