Abstract
Multiple delays and connection topology are the key parameters for the realistic modeling of networks. This paper discusses the influences of time delays and connection weight on multi-delay artificial neural models with inertial couplings. Firstly, sufficient conditions of some singularities involving static bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation, and pitchfork-Hopf bifurcation are presented by analyzing the transcendental characteristic equation. Secondly, taking self-connection weight and coupling delays as adjusting parameters and utilizing the parameter perturbation with the aid of the non-reduced order technique for the first time, rich dynamics near zero-Hopf interaction are obtained on the plane with self-connected weight and coupling delay as abscissa and ordinate. The multi-delay inertial neural system can exhibit coexisting attractors such as a pair of nontrivial equilibrium points and a periodic orbit with nontrivial equilibrium points. Self-connected weight can affect the number and dynamics of the system equilibrium points, while time delays can contribute to both trivial equilibrium and non-trivial equilibrium losing their stability and generating limit cycles. Simulation plots are displayed with computer software to support the established main results. Compared with the traditional reduced-order method, the used method here is simple and valid with less computation. The key research findings of this paper have significant theoretical guiding value in dominating and optimizing networks.
