Improved criteria on delay-dependent stability for discrete-time neural networks with interval time-varying delays (Q1938155)

Summary: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the delay-dependent stability analysis for discrete-time neural networks with interval time-varying delays. Based on Lyapunov's method, improved delay-dependent criteria for the stability of the networks are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) by constructing a suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and utilizing reciprocally convex approach. Also, a new activation condition which has not been considered in the literature is proposed and utilized for derivation of stability criteria. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
