Stochastic stability of neural networks with both Markovian jump parameters and continuously distributed delays (Q1040132): Difference between revisions

Summary: The problem of stochastic stability is investigated for a class of neural networks with both Markovian jump parameters and continuously distributed delays. The jumping parameters are modeled as a continuous-time, finite-state Markov chain. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, some novel stability conditions are obtained in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). The proposed LMI-based criteria are computationally efficient as they can be easily checked by using recently developed algorithms in solving LMIs. A numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results and demonstrate the LMI criteria given in the earlier literature fail. The results obtained in this paper improve and generalize those given in the previous literature.
