1 Introduction
In the recent years, bidirectional associative memory BAM neural networks and Cohen-Grossberg neural networksCGNNs with their various generalizations have attracted the attention of many mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientistssee 1 17 due to their wide range of applications in, for example, pattern recognition, associative memory, and combinatorial optimization Particularly, as discussed in 18–20, in the hardware implementation of the neural networks, when communication and response of neurons happens time delays may occur Actually, time delays are known to be a possible source
of instability in many real-world systems in engineering, biology, and so forth see, e.g.,
21 and references therein However, besides delay effect, impulsive effect likewise exists
in a wide variety of evolutionary processes in which states are changed abruptly at certain moments of time, involving fields such as medicine and biology, economics, mechanics, electronics, and telecommunications As artificial electronic systems, neural networks such
as Hopfield neural networks, bidirectional neural networks, and recurrent neural networks
Trang 2often are subject to impulsive perturbations which can affect dynamical behaviors of the systems just as time delays Therefore, it is necessary to consider both impulsive effect and delay effect on the stability of neural networks
As is well known, both continuous and discrete systems are very important in implementation and applications However, it is troublesome to study the stability for continuous and discrete systems, respectively Therefore, it is worth studying a new method, such as the time-scale theory, which can unify the continuous and discrete situations Motivated by the above discussions, the objective of this paper is to study the global exponential stability of the following Cohen-Grossberg bidirectional associative memory networks with impulses and time delays on time scales:

2 Preliminaries
In this section, we will cite some definitions and lemmas which will be used in the proofs of our main results
LetT be a nonempty closed subset time scale of R The forward and backward jump
operators σ, ρ : T → T and the graininess μ : T → R are defined, respectively, by
σ t inf{s ∈ T : s > t}, ρ t sup{s ∈ T : s < t}, μ t σt − t. 2.1
A point t ∈ T is called left dense if t > inf T and ρt t, left scattered if ρt < t, right dense if t < sup T and σt t, and right scattered if σt > t If T has a left-scattered maximum m, thenTk T \ {m}; otherwise T k T If T has a right-scattered minimum m,
thenTk T \ {m}; otherwise T k T
A function f :T → R is right dense continuous provided that it is continuous at right dense point inT and its left-side limits exist at left-dense points in T If f is continuous at each right dense point and each left-dense point, then f is said to be a continuous function
onT The set of continuous functions f : T → R will be denoted by CT.
For y : T → R and t ∈ T k , we define the delta derivative of yt, yΔt to be the
numberif it exists with the property that for a given ε > 0, there exists a neighborhood U
of t such that
y σt − ys− yΔtσt − s 2.2
for all s ∈ U.
If y is continuous, then y is right dense continuous, and y is delta differentiable at t, then y is continuous at t.
Let y be right dense continuous If yΔt yt, then we define the delta integral by
t

N ε ⊂ N of t such that
V σt, xσt − V s, xσt − μt, sft, xt
for each s ∈ N ε , s > t, where μt, s ≡ σt − s If t is rd and V t, xt is continuous at t, this
reduce to
D VΔt, xt V σt, xσt − V t, xσt

we define the improper integral by

f tΔt lim
b→ ∞

provided that this limit exists, and we say that the improper integral converges in this case
If this limit does not exist, then we say that the improper integral diverges

for all t∈ Tk

suppose that there exists a distinct z, z ∈ Rn such that Φz Φz, where z
