Novel global robust exponential stability criterion for uncertain BAM neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the global robust exponential stability for a class of delayed BAM neural networks with norm-bounded uncertainty is studied. Some less conservative conditions are presented for the global exponential stability of BAM neural networks with time-varying delays by constructing a new class of Lyapunov functionals combined with free-weighting matrices. This novel approach, based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, removes some existing restrictions on the system’s parameters, and the derived conditions are easy to verify via the LMI toolbox.

New results on global asymptotic stability analysis for neural networks with time-varying delays

This note provides new results on global asymptotic stability for neural networks with time-varying delay. Two types of time-varying delay are considered: one is differentiable and has bounded derivative; the other one is continuous and may vary very fast. By introducing an augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, new delay-dependent stability criteria for delayed neural networks are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It is shown that the obtained criteria can provide less conservative results than some existing ones. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.

Improved results on robust exponential stability criteria for neutral-type delayed neural networks

In this paper, we investigate the problem of robust global exponential stability analysis for a class of neutral-type neural networks. The interval time-varying delays allow for both slow and fast time-varying delays. The values of the time-varying uncertain parameters are assumed to be bounded within given compact sets. Improved global exponential stability condition is derived by employing new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the integral inequality.
