Robust stability analysis of genetic regulatory network with time delays

Abstract

The robust asymptotic stability problem of genetic regulatory networks with time delays is investigated by Lyapunov functional approach and linear matrix inequality techniques (LMIs). Stability criteria for the delayed genetic regulatory networks are expressed as a set of LMIs, yielding much less conservative analytic results. New criteria with reduced conservatism are obtained and they involve less matrix parameters than the existing ones. Finally, three numerical examples are presented to illustrate effectiveness and less conservative results.
