A Delay-Dependent Approach To Robust Stability For Uncertain Stochastic Neural Networks With Time-Varying Delay, Chien-Yu Lu, Chin-Wen Liao, Koan-Yuh Chang, Wen-Jer Chang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

This paper investigates the global delay-dependent robust stability in the mean square for uncertain stochastic neural networks with time-varying delay. The activation functions are assumed to be globally Lipschitz continuous. Based on a linear matrix inequality approach, globally delay-dependent robust stability criterion is derived by introducing some relaxation matrices which, when chosen properly, lead to a less conservative result. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.
