Finite-Time Boundedness of Impulsive Delayed Reaction-Diffusion Stochastic Neural Networks

Considering the impulsive delayed reaction-diffusion stochastic neural networks (IDRDSNNs) with hybrid impulses, the finite-time boundedness (FTB) and finite-time contractive boundedness (FTCB) are investigated in this article. First, a novel delay integral inequality is presented. By integrating this inequality with the comparison principle, some sufficient conditions that ensure the FTB and FTCB of IDRDSNNs are obtained. This study demonstrates that the FTB of neural networks with hybrid impulses can be maintained, even in the presence of impulsive perturbations. And for a system that is not FTB due to impulsive perturbations, achieving FTB is possible through the implementation of appropriate impulsive control and optimization of the average impulsive intervals. In addition, to validate the practicality of our results, three illustrative examples are provided. In the end, these theoretical findings are successfully applied to image encryption.
