Abstract
In this paper, we present multiplicity results of exponential stability and attracting domains for Cohen-
Grossberg neural network (CGNN) with distributed delays. We establish new criteria for the coexistence of
equilibrium points and estimate their attracting domains. Moreover, we base our criteria on coefficients
of the networks and the derivative of activation functions within the attracting domains. It is shown that our
results are new and complement corresponding results existing in the previous literature.

1. Introduction
Cohen-Grossberg neural network (see [1,2]) is usually
described by the following differential equations system

shows how the neurons
react to the input. CGNN not only has a wide range of
applications in pattern recognition, associative memory
and combinatorial optimization but also includes a num-
ber of models from neurobiology, population biology
and evolution theory. Hence studies on stability of CGNN
with or without delays have been vigorously done and
many criteria have been obtained so far [3-14].
In the applications of neural network to associative
memory storage or pattern recognitions, the coexistence
of multiple stable equilibrium points is an important fea-
ture [15-19,20-21]. However, few papers focus on the
existence of multiple equilibrium points of CGNN and
their complex convergence analysis. Hence, we should
consider multistability of the following CGNN with dis-
tributed delays

only de new criteria for the existence of 2

equi-
librium points of CGNN (1.1) but also estimate atacting
domains for these equilibrium points. When we relax our
conditions to be common assumptions, our results im-
prove corresponding results in [12]. Moreover, our re-
sults can extend the corresponding results in [3-13] to
local exponential stability of multiple equilibrium points
of Cohen-Grossberg networks. It is shown that our re-
sults are new and complement the existing results in the
literature.
The rest
tr
of this paper is organized as follows. In Sec-
tion 2, we should make some preparations by giving
some notations, assumptions and a basic lemma. Mean-
while, we discuss the existence of 2
N
equilibrium
points of CGNN (1.1). In Section 3, we only discuss
local exponential stability of 2not
N
equilibrium points of
CGNN (1.1) but also compareur results with existing o

given to illustrate the new results. Finally, concluding re-
