Novel extended dissipativity criteria for generalized neural networks with interval discrete and distributed time-varying delays

Abstract

The problem of asymptotic stability and extended dissipativity analysis for the generalized neural networks with interval discrete and distributed time-varying delays is investigated. Based on a suitable Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF), an improved Wirtinger single integral inequality, a novel triple integral inequality, and convex combination technique, the new asymptotic stability and extended dissipativity criteria are achieved for the generalized neural networks with interval discrete and distributed time-varying delays. By the above methods, the less conservative asymptotic stability criteria are obtained for a special case of the generalized neural networks. By using the Matlab LMI toolbox, the derived new asymptotic stability and extended dissipativity criteria are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) that cover H_{infty }, L_{2}–L_{infty }, passivity, and dissipativity performance by setting parameters in the general performance index. Finally, we show numerical examples which are less conservative than other examples in the literature. Moreover, we present numerical examples for asymptotic stability and extended dissipativity performance of the generalized neural networks, including a special case of the generalized neural networks.
