employing a more general type of Lyapunov functional and
using the contradiction method, we have derived new
sufficient conditions for the asymptotic convergence of the
equilibrium point for CNNs. By exploiting these
conditions..."

physical motivation of the paper. Ocean waves are
classified as either sea or swell.
Irregular patterns made up of various waves with different
