Exponential stability analysis for uncertain neural networks with interval time-varying delays

Abstract

In this paper, the problem of exponential stability analysis for neural networks is investigated. It is assumed that the considered neural networks have norm-bounded parametric uncertainties and interval time-varying delays. By constructing a new Lyapunov functional, new delay-dependent exponential stability criteria with an exponential convergence rate are established in terms of LMIs (linear matrix inequalities) which can be easily solved by various convex optimization algorithms. Two numerical examples are included to show the effectiveness of proposed criteria.
