Abstract
This paper examines a passivity analysis for a class of discrete-time recurrent neural networks (DRNNs) with norm-bounded time-varying parameter uncertainties and interval time-varying delay. The activation functions are assumed to be globally Lipschitz continuous. Based on an appropriate type of Lyapunov functional, sufficient passivity conditions for the DRNNs are derived in terms of a family of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability.

Summary
Recurrent neural networks have been extensively studied in the past decades. Two popular examples are Hopfield neural networks and cellular neural networks. Increasing attention has been draw to the potential applications of recurrent neural networks in information processing systems such as signal processing, model identification, optimization, pattern recognition, and associative memory These successful applications are greatly dependent on the dynamic behavior of recurrent neural networks RNNs. On the other hand, time delay is inevitably encountered in RNNs, since the interactions between different neurons are asynchronous. Under different assumptions on the activation functions, a unified linear matrix inequality LMI approach has been developed to establish sufficient conditions for the discrete-time recurrent neural networks with interval variable time to be globally exponentially stable in 22. The purpose of this paper is to deal with the problem of passivity conditions for discrete-time uncertain recurrent neural networks with interval time-varying delay. Throughout this paper, the notation X ≥ Y X > Y for symmetric matrices X and Y indicates that the matrix X − Y is positive and semidefinite resp., positive definite ; ZT represents the transpose of matrix Z
