We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Almost periodic dynamics of a class of delayed neural networks with discontinuous activations
Wenlian Lu and Tianping Chen
Abstract
We use the concept of the Filippov solution to study the dynamics of a class of delayed dynamical systems with discontinuous right-hand side, which contains the widely-studied delayed neural network models with almost periodic self-inhibitions, interconnections weights and external inputs. We prove that diagonal dominant conditions can guarantee the existence and uniqueness of an almost periodic solution as well as its global exponential stability. As special cases, we derive a series of results on the dynamics of delayed dynamical systems with discontinuous activations and periodic coefficients or constant coefficients, respectively. Furthermore, from the proof of the existence and uniqueness of the solution, we prove that the solution of a delayed dynamical system with high-slope activations actually approximates to the Filippov solution of the dynamical system with discontinuous activations.
