Delay-dependent criterion for exponential stability analysis of neural networks with time-varying delays
This note investigates the problem of exponential stability of neural networks with time-varying delays. To derive a less conservative stability condition, a novel augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) which includes triple and quadruple-integral terms is employed. In order to reduce the complexity of the stability test, the convex combination method is utilized to derive an improved delay dependent stability criterion in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The superiority of the proposed approach is demonstrated by two comparative examples
Further analysis of stability of uncertain neural networks with multiple time delays
This paper studies the robust stability of uncertain neural networks with multiple time delays with respect to the class of nondecreasing activation functions. By using the Lyapunov functional and homeomorphism mapping theorems, we derive a new delay-independent sufficient condition the existence, uniqueness, and global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for delayed neural networks with uncertain network parameters. The condition obtained for the robust stability establishes a matrix-norm relationship between the network parameters of the neural system, and therefore it can easily be verified. We also present some constructive numerical examples to compare the proposed result with results in the previously published corresponding literature. These comparative examples show that our new condition can be considered as an alternative result to the previous corresponding literature results as it defines a new set of network parameters ensuring the robust stability of delayed neural networks.Publisher's Versio

Probability-dependent gain-scheduled control for discrete stochastic delayed systems with randomly occurring nonlinearities
This is the post-print version of the Article. The official published version can be accessed from the links below - Copyright @ 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.In this paper, the gain-scheduled control problem is addressed by using probability-dependent Lyapunov functions for a class of discrete-time stochastic delayed systems with randomly occurring sector nonlinearities. The sector nonlinearities are assumed to occur according to a time-varying Bernoulli distribution with measurable probability in real time. The multiplicative noises are given by means of a scalar Gaussian white noise sequence with known variances. The aim of the addressed gain-scheduled control problem is to design a controller with scheduled gains such that, for the admissible randomly occurring nonlinearities, time delays and external noise disturbances, the closed-loop system is exponentially mean-square stable. Note that the designed gain-scheduled controller is based on the measured time-varying probability and is therefore less conservative than the conventional controller with constant gains. It is shown that the time-varying controller gains can be derived in terms of the measurable probability by solving a convex optimization problem via the semi-definite programme method. A simulation example is exploited to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design procedures.This work was supported in part by the Leverhulme Trust of the UK, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK under Grant GR/S27658/01, the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61028008, 61134009, 61074016, 61104125 and 60974030, the Shanghai Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 10ZR1421200, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
Event-Triggered State Estimation for a Class of Delayed Recurrent Neural Networks with Sampled-Data Information
The paper investigates the state estimation problem for a class of recurrent neural networks with sampled-data information and time-varying delays. The main purpose is to estimate the neuron states through output sampled measurement; a novel event-triggered scheme is proposed, which can lead to a significant reduction of the information communication burden in the network; the feature of this scheme is that whether or not the sampled data should be transmitted is determined by the current sampled data and the error between the current sampled data and the latest transmitted data. By using a delayed-input approach, the error dynamic system is equivalent to a dynamic system with two different time-varying delays. Based on the Lyapunov-krasovskii functional approach, a state estimator of the considered neural networks can be achieved by solving some linear matrix inequalities, which can be easily facilitated by using the standard numerical software. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed event-triggered scheme
