Very recently, a different generalization of real-valued neural networks (RVNNs) to multidimensional domains beside the complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs), quaternion-valued neural networks (QVNNs), and Clifford-valued neural networks (ClVNNs) has appeared, namely octonion-valued neural networks (OVNNs), which are not a subset of ClVNNs. They are defined on the octonion algebra, which is an 8D algebra over the reals, and is also the only other normed division algebra that can be defined over the reals beside the complex and quaternion algebras. On the other hand, fractional-order neural networks (FONNs) have also been very intensively researched in the recent past. Thus, the present work combines FONNs and OVNNs and puts forward a fractional-order octonion-valued neural network (FOOVNN) with neutral-type, time-varying, and distributed delays, a very general model not yet discussed in the literature, to our awareness. Sufficient criteria expressed as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and algebraic inequalities are deduced, which ensure the asymptotic and Mittag–Leffler synchronization properties of the proposed model by decomposing the OVNN system of equations into a real-valued one, in order to avoid the non-associativity problem of the octonion algebra. To accomplish synchronization, we use two different state feedback controllers, two different types of Lyapunov-like functionals in conjunction with two Halanay-type lemmas for FONNs, the free-weighting matrix method, a classical lemma, and Young’s inequality. The four theorems presented in the paper are each illustrated by a numerical example. Full article

The main purpose of this paper was to study the almost anti-periodic oscillation caused by external inputs and the global exponential synchronization of Clifford-valued recurrent neural networks with mixed delays. Since the space consists of almost anti-periodic functions has no vector space structure, firstly, we prove that the network under consideration possesses a unique bounded continuous solution by using the contraction fixed point theorem. Then, by using the inequality technique, it was proved that the unique bounded continuous solution is also an almost anti-periodic solution. Secondly, taking the neural network that was considered as the driving system, introducing the corresponding response system and designing the appropriate controller, some sufficient conditions for the global exponential synchronization of the driving-response system were obtained by employing the inequality technique. When the system we consider degenerated into a real-valued system, our results were considered new. Finally, the validity of the results was verified using a numerical example. Full article

In this paper, Clifford-valued fuzzy neural networks with proportional delays, whose leakage term coefficients are also Clifford numbers, are considered. Based on the Banach fixed point theorem and differential inequality technique, we use a direct method to obtain the existence, uniqueness, and global attractivity of pseudo almost periodic solutions for the considered networks. Finally, we provide a numerical example to illustrate the feasibility of our results. Our results are new. Full article

In this paper, we explore the finite-time synchronization of Clifford-valued neural networks with finite-time distributed delays. To address the problem associated with non-commutativity pertaining to the multiplication of Clifford numbers, the original n-dimensional Clifford-valued drive and response systems are firstly decomposed into the corresponding $2^m$-dimensional real-valued counterparts. On the basis of a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, suitable controller and new computational techniques, finite-time synchronization criteria are formulated for the corresponding real-valued drive and response systems. The feasibility of the main results is verified by a numerical example. Full article
