Abstract

Neural networks are powerful computational models widely used in various domains, including machine learning, neuroscience, and control systems. However, the stability analysis of neural networks with time delays remains a challenging problem due to the complex interactions between neurons and the presence of delayed feedback loops. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to analyze the stability of neural networks using delay differential equations (DDEs). We begin by formulating a mathematical model of the neural network dynamics, incorporating time delays to account for the finite propagation time of signals between neurons. We then derive a set of delay differential equations that describe the evolution of the network states over time, taking into consideration the delayed interactions between neurons.
