1. Introduction
Fractional calculus is an arbitrary extension of integer calculus in order. It has strong advantages and wide application prospects in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, economy, control, signal, and image processing. It has attracted extensive attention from scholars at home and abroad and has become one of the current research hotspots. In recent years, due to the continuous development of fractional differential equations, many researchers began to pay attention to the fractional-order theory, and the combination of fractional-order and neural network give full play to the advantages of fractional order. For example, literature [1–4] combined fractional order with neural network and achieved a good effect. Among them, Boroomand and Menhaj [4] presented the fractional-order Hopfield neural network model and studied its stability through the quasienergy function. [5–7] study on different fractional-order neural networks and explore the influence of different factors on fractional-order neural networks. This paper summarizes the synchronization problem of neural network [8–12]. Dominik et al. [13] considered discrete fractional-order artificial neural networks. Chaos and chaotic synchronization of fractional-order neural networks are proposed [14]. Literature [15, 16] explained and analyzed the dynamics of fractional-order neural networks. The fractional-order neural network was applied in different fields [17–21]. In recent years, the stability of fractional-order neural network system has become a research hotspot [22–31]. In reference [22], the stability and passivity of a memristor-based fractional-order competitive neural network (MBFOCNN) are analyzed by using Caputo’s fractional derivative. The effectiveness of the proposed results is finally verified by using analysis techniques and other computational tools. In reference [23], the problem of robust dissipation of Hopfield-type complex valued neural network (HTCVNN) model with time-varying delay and linear fractional uncertainty is studied, and many numerical models are designed to verify the results. In reference [24, 25], the global asymptotic stability of fractional quaternion numerical bidirectional associative memory neural networks (FQVBAMNNs) and fractional quaternion numerical memristic neural networks (FOQVMNNs) is studied. The effectiveness of the results is proved by using related methods. In reference [26, 27], the stability of fractional-order continuous time quaternion numerical leaky integral echo state neural network (NN) with multiple time-varying delays is studied, and the feasibility of the method is verified by numerical examples. In reference [28], the uniform stability of a fractional-order leaky integral echo state neural network (FOESN) with multiple delays is studied. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the method. Literature [32, 33] proposed the time-delay correlation study of Caputo fractional-order neural network. However, there are few studies on the behavior of fractional quantum neural networks with mixed delay. In this paper, a multilayer activation function quantum neural network model is presented, and the quasiuniform stability of fractional quantum neural networks with mixed delay is studied. It is proved by the formula and simulated by the numerical case.
This article is organized as follows. In the second section, we give the structure of the multilayer activation function of the quantum neural network, based on which a fractional quantum neural network model with mixed delay is proposed. In the third section, it is proved that the fractional quantum neural network system with mixed time delay is quasiuniformly stable by corresponding definitions and lemmas. In the fourth section, a concrete example is given to verify the validity and applicability of the given results.
2. Model Composition and Preparation
2.1. Quantum Neural Network
Quantum neural network belongs to the feed-forward type of neural network [34, 35]. Compared with the traditional feed-forward type of neural network, the neurons in the hidden layer of quantum neural network refer to the idea of quantum state superposition in the quantum theory and carry out the linear superposition of several Sigmoid functions, which is called the multilayer activation function. Traditional activation functions can only represent two states and orders of magnitude. When quantized, a hidden layer neuron can represent more states and orders of magnitude.
Each Sigmoid function superimposed has a different quantum interval. By adjusting the quantum interval, the data of different classes can be mapped to different orders of magnitude or steps, so that the classification can have more degrees of freedom. The quantum interval of the quantum neural network can be obtained by training. The uncertainty in the sampled data can be obtained and quantified by a quantum neural network with an appropriate learning algorithm.
Figure 1 shows a traditional three-layer feedforward neural network. Assume that the input layer I has nodes, the output layer O has nodes, and the number of nodes in the hidden layer H is . Adjacent layer nodes are fully interconnected, and nodes of the same layer are not connected. The node output function in the hidden layer is
The output function of the node in the output layer is
In the formula, adopts Sigmoid function, and is the connection weight vector between each neuron in the input layer and each neuron in the hidden layer. is the connection weight vector between each neuron in the hidden layer and each neuron in the output layer; is the threshold of the hidden layer, and is the threshold of the unit of the output layer.
Quantum neural networks with multiple excitation functions:
In the formula: , is the network weight vector; is the network input vector; is the slope; is the input excitation of the quantum neuron; is the quantum interval .
The learning of quantum neural network can be divided into two steps: (1) adjusting the weight to make the input data correspond to different class spaces; (2) adjust the quantum interval of quantum neurons in the hidden layer to reflect the uncertainty of data. The BP algorithm is used to adjust the weight. Once the network weight is obtained, the quantum interval can be adjusted by an appropriate algorithm [36]. The idea of the algorithm is to minimize the output change of the hidden layer neurons in the quantum neural network based on the same kind of sample data.
Assume that for class , the output of the th hidden layer neuron changes as: in the formula: , represents the output of the neuron in the hidden layer when the network input vector is ;
in the formula represents the cardinality of class . It can be seen that is a function of the quantum interval . By taking the derivative of on both sides of Equation (4) and finding the minimum value of , the variation formula of (i.e., layer S of the th neuron in the hidden layer) can be obtained.
In formula (6), is the learning rate; is the number of nodes in the output layer, namely, the total number of classes; is the number of quantum interval layers; : represents all samples belonging to the class.
Among them:
In the formula: represents the output of the th quantum layer of the th hidden layer neuron when the input vector is .
