Exponential stability of impulsive high-order cellular neural networks with time-varying delays

The paper considers the problems of global exponential stability for impulsive high-order neural networks with time-varying delays. By employing the Hardy inequality and the Lyapunov functional method, we present some new criteria ensuring exponential stability. The activation functions are not assumed to be differentiable or strictly increasing, and no assumption on the symmetry of the connection matrices is necessary. These criteria are important in signal processing and the design of networks. Moreover, we also extend the previously known results. One illustrative example is also given in the end of this paper to show the effectiveness of our results.
