Improved Results on Finite-Time Stability Analysis of Neural Networks With Time-Varying Delays

Abstract

This paper investigates the issue of finite time stability analysis of time-delayed neural networks by introducing a new Lyapunov functional which uses the information on the delay sufficiently and an augmented Lyapunov functional which contains some triple integral terms. Some improved delay-dependent stability criteria are derived using Jensen's inequality, reciprocally convex combination methods. Then, the finite-time stability conditions are solved by the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Numerical examples are finally presented to verify the effectiveness of the obtained results.
