Further improvement of the Lyapunov functional and the delay-dependent stability criterion for a neural network with a constant delay

This paper investigates the asymptotical stability problem of a neural system with a constant delay. A new delaydependent stability condition is derived by using the novel augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii function with triple integral terms, and the additional triple integral terms play a key role in the further reduction of conservativeness. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and lower conservativeness of the proposed method.
