Robust exponential stability analysis for stochastic genetic networks with uncertain parameters

In this paper, the robust exponential stability problem is considered for a class of stochastic genetic networks with uncertain parameters. Under assumptions that the parameter uncertainties are norm bounded, both cases that the genetic network has or has not time delays are discussed. Sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the robust exponential stability in the mean square of stochastic genetic networks for all admissible parameter uncertainties. By applying Lyapunov function (functional) and conducting some stochastic analysis, the stability criteria are given in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMI’s), which can be easily checked in practice. Two illustrative examples are also given to show the usefulness of the proposed criteria.     

Exponential stability analysis of uncertain stochastic neural networks with multiple delays

This paper addresses the stability analysis problem for stochastic neural networks with parameter uncertainties and multiple time delays. The delays are time varying, and the parameter uncertainties are assumed to be norm bounded. A sufficient condition is derived such that for all admissible uncertainties, the considered neural network is globally exponentially stable in the mean square. The stability criterion is formulated by means of the feasibility of a linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can be easily checked in practice. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the proposed result.     

Novel robust stability criteria for uncertain stochastic Hopfield neural networks with time-varying delays

The problem of stochastic robust stability of a class of stochastic Hopfield neural networks with time-varying delays and parameter uncertainties is investigated in this paper. The parameter uncertainties are time-varying and norm-bounded. The time-delay factors are unknown and time-varying with known bounds. Based on Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and stochastic analysis approaches, some new stability criteria are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to guarantee the delayed neural network to be robustly stochastically asymptotically stable in the mean square for all admissible uncertainties. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and less conservativeness of the developed techniques.     

Global asymptotic stability analysis for neutral stochastic neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the global asymptotic stability is investigated for a class of neutral stochastic neural networks with time-varying delays and norm-bounded uncertainties. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and stochastic analysis approaches, delay-dependent criteria are derived to ensure the global, robust, asymptotic stability of the addressed system in the mean square for all admissible parameter uncertainties. The criteria can be checked easily by the LMI Control Toolbox in Matlab. A numerical example is given to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the results.     

Dynamic analysis of Markovian jumping impulsive stochastic Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discrete interval and distributed time-varying delays

In this paper, the dynamic analysis problem is considered for a new class of Markovian jumping impulsive stochastic Cohen–Grossberg neural networks (CGNNs) with discrete interval and distributed delays. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be norm bounded and the discrete delay is assumed to be time-varying and belonging to a given interval, which means that the lower and upper bounds of interval time-varying delays are available. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and stochastic stability theory, delay-interval dependent stability criteria are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Some asymptotic stability criteria are formulated by means of the feasibility of a linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can be easily calculated by LMI Toolbox in Matlab. A numerical example is provided to show that the proposed results significantly improve the allowable upper bounds of delays over some existing results in the literature.     

An LMI approach to stability analysis of stochastic high-order Markovian jumping neural networks with mixed time delays

This paper deals with the problem of global exponential stability for a general class of stochastic high-order neural networks with mixed time delays and Markovian jumping parameters. The mixed time delays under consideration comprise both discrete time-varying delays and distributed time-delays. The main purpose of this paper is to establish easily verifiable conditions under which the delayed high-order stochastic jumping neural network is exponentially stable in the mean square in the presence of both mixed time delays and Markovian switching. By employing a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and conducting stochastic analysis, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is developed to derive the criteria ensuring exponential stability. Furthermore, the criteria are dependent on both the discrete time-delay and distributed time-delay, and hence less conservative. The proposed criteria can be readily checked by using some standard numerical packages such as the Matlab LMI Toolbox. A simple example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed testing criteria.     

Global robust exponential stability analysis for stochastic interval neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the global exponential stability is investigated for a class of stochastic interval neural networks with time-varying delays. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be bounded in given compact sets. Based on Lyapunov stable theory and stochastic analysis approaches, the delay-dependent criteria are derived to ensure the global, robust, exponential stability of the addressed system in the mean square. The criteria can be checked easily by the LMI control toolbox in Matlab. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness and improvement over some existing results.     

Equilibrium and stability analysis of delayed neural networks under parameter uncertainties

This paper proposes new results for the existence, uniqueness and global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for neural networks with multiple time delays under parameter uncertainties. By using Lyapunov stability theorem and applying homeomorphism mapping theorem, new delay-independent stability criteria are obtained. The obtained results are in terms of network parameters of the neural system only and therefore they can be easily checked. We also present some illustrative numerical examples to demonstrate that our result are new and improve corresponding results derived in the previous literature.     

Robust stability analysis for Markovian jumping interval neural networks with discrete and distributed time-varying delays

This paper investigates robust stability analysis for Markovian jumping interval neural networks with discrete and distributed time-varying delays. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be bounded in given compact sets. The delay is assumed to be time-varying and belong to a given interval, which means that the lower and upper bounds of interval time-varying delays are available. Based on the new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF), some inequality techniques and stochastic stability theory, new delay-dependent stability criteria have been obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the less conservative and effectiveness of our theoretical results.     

New robust passivity criteria for stochastic fuzzy BAM neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, we consider the problem of passivity analysis issue for a class of stochastic fuzzy BAM neural networks with time varying delays. By employing the idea of delay-fractioning technique and Lyapunov stability theory, a new set of sufficient conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities for obtaining the passivity condition of the considered neural network model. First, we derive the passivity condition for stochastic fuzzy BAM neural networks with time varying delays and then the result is extended to the case with uncertainties. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and conservatism of the obtained results.
