Abstract

We consider a nonlinear non-autonomous system with time-varying delays xi˙(t)=ai(t)xi(hi(t))+j=1mFij(t,xj(gij(t))) \dot{x_i}(t)=-a_i(t)x_{i}(h_i(t))+\sum_{j=1}^mF_{ij}(t,x_j(g_{ij}(t))) which has a large number of applications in the theory of artificial neural networks. Via the M-matrix method, easily verifiable sufficient stability conditions for the nonlinear system and its linear version are obtained. Application of the main theorem requires just to check whether a matrix, which is explicitly constructed by the system's parameters, is an MM-matrix. Comparison with the tests obtained by K. Gopalsamy (2007) and B. Liu (2013) for BAM neural networks illustrates novelty of the stability theorems. Some open problems conclude the paper.
