A general framework for global asymptotic stability analysis of delayed neural networks based on LMI approach

In this paper, global asymptotic stability is discussed for neural networks with time-varying delay. Several new criteria in matrix inequality form are given to ascertain the uniqueness and global asymptotic stability of equilibrium point for neural networks with time-varying delay based on Lyapunov method and Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) technique. The proposed LMI approach has the advantage of considering the difference of neuronal excitatory and inhibitory efforts, which is also computationally efficient as it can be solved numerically using recently developed interior-point algorithm.

Neural networks with discrete and distributed time-varying delays: A general stability analysis

In this paper, the global asymptotic and exponential stability are investigated for a class of neural networks with both the discrete and distributed time-varying delays. By using appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, several delay-dependent sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the global asymptotic and exponential stability of the addressed neural networks. These conditions are expressed in terms of LMIs, and are dependent on both the discrete and distributed time delays. Therefore, the stability of the neural networks can be checked readily by resorting to the Matlab LMI toolbox. In addition, the proposed stability criteria do not require the monotonicity of the activation functions and the differentiability of the discrete and distributed time-varying delays, which means that our results generalize and further improve those in the earlier publications. A simulation example is given to show the effectiveness and less conservatism of the obtained conditions.

Global asymptotic stability of stochastic fuzzy cellular neural networks with multiple discrete and distributed time-varying delays

In this paper, the Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model representation is extended to the stability analysis for stochastic cellular neural networks with multiple discrete and distributed time varying delays. A novel linear matrix inequality (LMI) based stability criterion is derived to guarantee the asymptotic stability of stochastic cellular neural networks with multiple discrete and distributed time varying delays which are represented by T–S fuzzy models. The derived delay-dependent stability conditions are based on free-weighting matrices method, Lyapunov stability theory and LMI technique. In fact, these techniques lead to generalized and less conservative stability condition that guarantee the wide stability region. The delay-dependent stability condition is formulated, in which the restriction of the derivative of the time-varying delay is removed. Our results can be specialized to several cases including those studied extensively in the literature. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and conservativeness of our results.
