In this paper, we analyze the stability properties of solutions of fractional order Hopfield neural networks with delays, including the finite-time stability and the global exponential stability. By establishing the corresponding Volterra integral equations and employing the Bellman-Gronwall inequality and the Bihari inequality, some sufficient conditions are obtained to assure the finite-time stability of solutions for the related systems. Two examples are presented to illustrate the advantages of our result. Furthermore, in terms of the Lyapunov-type functions, we get some new results for the existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium point and their global exponential stability. |
