New delay-dependent uniform stability criteria for fractional-order BAM neural networks with discrete and distributed delays.

Initially, a class of Caputo fractional-order bidirectional associative memory neural networks in two variables is developed, building upon the groundwork laid by delayed Caputo fractional system in one variable. Next, the Razumikhin-type uniform stability conditions, originally formulated for single-variable systems, are successfully extended to accommodate the complexities of delayed Caputo fractional systems in two variables. Leveraging this extension and employing a suitable Lyapunov function, the delay-dependent uniform stability criteria for the addressed fractional-order bidirectional associative memory neural networks are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the effectiveness and practicality of the theoretical findings are demonstrated through the application of two numerical examples, affirming the viability of the proposed approach.
