By using coincidence degree theory and Lyapunov functions, we study the existence and global exponential stability of antiperiodic solutions for a class of generalized neural networks with impulses and arbitrary delays on time scales. Some completely new sufficient conditions are established. Finally, an example is given to illustrate our results. These results are of great significance in designs and applications of globally stable anti-periodic Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with delays and impulses . 1. Introduction In this paper, we consider the following generalized neural networks with impulses and arbitrary delays on time scales: tk , xΔ t At, xtBt, xt Ft, xt , t ∈ T, t / − Δxtk x tk − x tk Ik xtk , t tk , k ∈ N, 1.1 where T is an ω/2-periodic time scale and if t ∈ T, θ ∈ E, then t θ ∈ T, E is a subset of R− −∞, 0 , At, xt diaga1 t, x1 t, a2 t, x2 t, . . . , an t, xn t, Bt, xt f1 t, xt , . . . , fn t, xt T , fi t, xt b1 t, x1 t, b2 t, x2 t, . . . , bn t, xn tT , Ft, xt − fi t, x1t , x2t , . . . , xnt , xit θ xi t θ, t ∈ T, θ ∈ E, i 1, 2, . . . , n, and xtk , xtk represent the right and left limits of xtk in the sense of time scales, {tl } is a sequence of real numbers such that 0 < t1 < t2 < · · · < tn → ∞ as l → ∞. There exists a positive integer q such that tlq tl ω/2, Ikq u −Ik −u, l ∈ Z, u ∈ R. Without loss of generality, we also 2 Journal of Inequalities and Applications assume that 0, ω/2T ∩ {tl : l ∈ N} {t1 , t2 , . . . , tq }. For each interval I of R, we denote that IT I ∩ T, especially, we denote that T T ∩ 0, ∞. System 1.1 includes many neural continuous and discrete time networks 1–9 .

Arising from problems in applied sciences, it is well known that anti-periodic problems of nonlinear differential equations have been extensively studied by many authors during the past twenty years; see 10–21 and references cited therein. For example, antiperiodic trigonometric polynomials are important in the study of interpolation problems 22, 23 , and anti-periodic wavelets are discussed in 24 . Recently, several authors 25–30 have investigated the anti-periodic problems of neural networks without impulse by similar analytic skills. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are few papers published on the existence of anti-periodic solutions to neural networks with impulse. The main purpose of this paper is to study the existence and global exponential stability of anti-periodic solutions of system 1.1 by using the method of coincidence degree theory and Lyapunov functions. The initial conditions associated with system 1.1 are of the form x0 φ, that is, xi θ φi θ, θ ∈ E, i 1, 2, . . . , n. 1.6 Throughout this paper, we assume that H1 ai t, u ∈ CT × R, R , ai t ω/2, −u ai t, u, and there exist positive constants m M M am i , ai such that 0 < ai < ai t, u < ai for all t ∈ T, u ∈ R, i 1, 2, . . . , n; Journal of Inequalities and Applications 3 H2 bi t, u ∈ CT × R, R, bi t ω/2, −u −bi t, u. There exist positive constants μi and Lbi such that ∂bi t, u ≥ μi , ∂u |bi t, u − bi t, v| ≤ Lbi |u − v|, 1.7 bi t, 0 0, for all t ∈ T, u, v ∈ R, i 1, 2, . . . , n; H3 fi ∈ CT × Rn , R, fi t ω/2, −u −fi t, u, for i 1, 2, . . . , n. There exist positive constants ci such that n xjt − yjt , fi t, x1t , . . . , xnt − fi t, y1t , . . . , ynt ≤ ci 1.8 j1 for all t, x1t , . . . , xnt , t, y1t , . . . , ynt ∈ T × Rn and fi t, 0, . . . , 0 0, i 1, 2, . . . , n; H4 Iik ∈ CR, R and there exist positive constants LIik such that 1.9 |Iik u − Iik v| ≤ LIik |u − v|, for all u, v ∈ R, k ∈ N, i 1, 2, . . . , n. For convenience, we introduce the following notation: hM max |ht|, t∈0,ω hm min |ht|, T t∈0,ω T h 2 ω 1/2 |ht|2 Δt , 1.10 0 where h is an ω-periodic function. The organization of this paper is as follows. In Section 2, we introduce some definitions and lemmas. In Section 3, by using the method of coincidence degree theory, we obtain the existence of the anti-periodic solutions of system 1.1. In Section 4, we give the criteria of global exponential stability of the anti-periodic solutions of system 1.1. In Section 5, an example is also provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the main results in Sections 3 and 4. The conclusions are drawn in Section 6. 2. Preliminaries In this section, we will first recall some basic definitions and lemmas which can be found in books 31, 32 . Definition 2.1 see 31 . A time scale T is an arbitrary nonempty closed subset of real numbers R. The forward and backward jump operators σ, ρ : T → T and the graininess μ : T → R are defined, respectively, by σt : inf{s ∈ T : s > t}, ρt : sup{s ∈ T : s < t}, μt σt − t. 2.1 4 Journal of Inequalities and Applications Definition 2.2 see 31 . A function f : T → R is called right-dense continuous provided it is continuous at right-dense point of T and left-side limit exists finite at left-dense point of T. The set of all right-dense continuous functions on T will be denoted by Crd Crd T Crd T, R. If f is continuous at each right-dense and left-dense point, then f is said to be a continuous function on T, the set of continuous function will be denoted by CT. Definition 2.3 see 31 . For x : T → R, one defines the delta derivative of xt, xΔ t to be the number if it exists with the property that for a given ε > 0, there exists a neighborhood U of t such that xσt − xt − xΔ tσt − s ≤ ε|σt − s|, 2.2 for all s ∈ U. Definition 2.4 see 31 . If F Δ t ft, then one defines the delta integral by t 2.3 fsΔs Ft − Fa. a Definition 2.5 see 33 . For each t ∈ T, let N be a neighborhood of t. Then, one defines the generalized derivative or dini derivative, D uΔ t to mean that, given ε > 0, there exists a right neighborhood Nε ⊂ N of t such that uσt − us < D uΔ t ε, μt, s 2.4 for each s ∈ Nε, s > t, where μt, s σt − s. In case t is right-scattered and ut is continuous at t, this reduces to D uΔ t uσt − ut . σt − t 2.5 Similar to 34 , we will give the definition of anti-periodic function on a time scale as following. Definition 2.6. Let T / R be a periodic time scale with period p. One says that the function f : T → R is ω/2-anti-periodic if there exists a natural number n such that ω/2 np, ft ω/2 −ft for all t ∈ T and ω is the smallest number such that ft ω/2 −ft. If T R, one says that f is ω/2-anti-periodic if ω/2 is the smallest positive number such that ft ω/2 −ft for all t ∈ T. Definition 2.7 see 31 . A function p : T → R is called regressive if 1 μtpt / 0 for all t ∈ Tk , where μt σt − t is the graininess function. If p is regressive and right-dense continuous function, then the generalized exponential function ep is defined by ep t, s exp t s ξμτ pτ Δτ , 2.6 Journal of Inequalities and Applications 5 for s, t ∈ T, with the cylinder transformation ⎧ ⎪ ⎨ Log1 hz , h ξh z ⎪ ⎩z, if h / 0, 2.7 if h 0. Let p, q : T → R be two regressive functions, we define p ⊕ q : p q μpq, p : − p , 1 μp qp⊕ p q . 2.8 Then the generalized exponential function has the following properties. Lemma 2.8 see 31, 32 . Assume that p, q : T → R are two regressive functions, then i e0 t, s ≡ 1 and ep t, t ≡ 1; ii ep σt, s 1 μtptep t, s; iii ep t, σs ep t, s/1 μsps; iv 1/ep t, s e p t, s; v ep t, s 1/ep s, t e p s, t; vi ep t, sep s, r ep t, r; vii epΔ ·, s pep ·, s. Lemma 2.9 see 31 . Assume that f, g : T → R are delta differentiable at t ∈ Tk . Then fg Δ t f Δ tgt fσtg Δ t ftg Δ t f Δ tgσt. 2.9 The following lemmas can be found in 35, 36 , respectively. Lemma 2.10. Let t1 , t2 ∈ 0, w T . If x : T → R is ω-periodic, then xt ≤ xt1 ω xΔ s Δs, xt ≥ xt2 − 0 ω xΔ s Δs. 2.10 0 Lemma 2.11. Let a, b ∈ T. For rd-continuous functions f, g : a, b → R, one has b a ftgt Δt ≤ b a 1/2 2 ft Δt b 1/2 2 gt Δt . 2.11 a Definition 2.12. The anti-periodic solution x∗ t x1∗ t, x2∗ t, . . . , xn∗ tT of system 1.1 is said to be globally exponentially stable if there exist positive constants and M M ≥ 1, 6 Journal of Inequalities and Applications for any solution xt x1 t, x2 t, . . . , xn tT of system 1.1 with the initial value φt φ1 t, φ2 t, . . . , φn tT ∈ CET , Rn , such that n xi t − xi∗ t ≤ M e t, αφ − x∗ , 2.12 i1 where n φ − x∗ sup φi s − xi∗ s , α ∈ ET . 2.13 i1 s∈ET The following continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory is crucial in the arguments of our main results. Lemma 2.13 see 37 . Let X, X be two Banach spaces, Ω ⊂ X be open bounded and symmetric with 0 ∈ Ω. Suppose that L : DL ⊂ X → Y is a linear Fredholm operator of index zero with ∅ and N : Ω → Y is L-compact. Further, one also assumes that DL ∩ Ω / H Lx − Nx / λ−Lx − N−x for all x ∈ DL ∩ ∂Ω, λ ∈ 0, 1 . Then the equation Lx Nx has at least one solution on DL ∩ Ω. 3. Existence of Antiperiodic Solutions In this section, by using Lemma 2.13, we will study the existence of at least one anti-periodic solution of 1.1. Theorem 3.1. Assume that H1 –H4 hold. Suppose further that H5 E eij n×n is a nonsingular M matrix, where, for i, j 1, 2, . . . , n, ⎧ 2q 2q ⎪ 1 I ⎪ m I 2 m M b ⎪ − ω a a L − ωa L − L − ⎨ωam i i i i i ik μi k1 ik k1 eij ⎪ 1 ⎪ ⎪ ωam aM ⎩− i ωci , i μi 1 ωam aM i ωci , i μi i j, 3.1 i/ j.

Similar to the proof of Theorem 3.1 in 38 , it is not difficult to show that QNΩ, KP I − QNΩ are relatively compact for any open bounded set Ω ⊂ X. Therefore, N is L-compact on Ω for any open bounded set Ω ⊂ X.

Consider the following impulsive generalized neural networks: xΔ t At, xtBt, xt Ft, xt , t ∈ T, t / tk, Δxtk x tk − x t−k Ik xtk , t tk , k ∈ Z, 5.1 where 2 2 At, u diag 10 arctan |u|, 11 arctan |u| , π π ⎞ ⎛ 2 c x tg i j jt ⎟ ⎜ u ⎟ ⎜ j1 1 ⎟, , Ft, xt ⎜ Bt, u ⎜ 2 ⎟ 100 u ⎠ ⎝ ci tgj xjt 5.2 j1 gj 2×1 1 1000 sin u sin u , ω 2π, ci 2×1 1 1000 0, 2π T sin t cos t , Ik 2×2 1 500 −u − u −u − u , ∩ {tk : k ∈ N} {t1 , t2 }, when T R, system 5.1 has at least one exponentially stable π-anti-periodic solution. m m M a a b b Proof. By calculation, we have am 1 10, a1 11, a2 11, a2 12, L1 L2 2/π, L1 L2 M M I I I I 1/100, c1 1/1000, c2 1/1000, L11 L21 L12 L22 1/500, and μ1 μ2 1/100. It is obvious that H1 –H4 , H6 –H8 , and H10 are satisfied. Furthermore, we can easily calculate that E≈ 7.52 −12.74 −11.25 3.61 5.3 is a nonsingular M matrix, thus H5 is satisfied. When T R, μt 0. Take 0.01, θ −1, we have that Ψ1 , t ≈ −0.04 < 0, Ψ2 , t ≈ −0.03 < 0. 5.4 18 Journal of Inequalities and Applications Hence H10 holds. By Theorems 3.1 and 4.1, system 5.1 has at least one exponentially stable π-anti-periodic solution. This completes the proof. 6. Conclusions Using the time scales calculus theory, the coincidence degree theory, and the Lyapunov functional method, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence and global exponential stability of anti-periodic solutions for a class of generalized neural networks with impulses and arbitrary delays. This class of generalized neural networks include many continuous or discrete time neural networks such as, Hopfield type neural networks, cellular neural networks, Cohen-Grossberg neural networks, and so on. To the best of our knowledge, the known results about the existence of anti-periodic solutions for neural networks are all done by a similar analytic method, and only good for neural networks without impulse. Our results obtained in this paper are completely new even if the time scale T R or Z and are of great significance in designs and applications of globally stable anti-periodic Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with delays and impulses .
