New delay-dependent stability criteria for recurrent neural networks with time-varying delays

Dimirovski, Georgi M. (Dogus Author)This work is concerned with the delay-dependentstability problem for recurrent neural networks with time-varying delays. A new improved delay-dependent stability criterion expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities is derived by constructing a dedicated Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional via utilizing Wirtinger inequality and convex combination approach. Moreover, a further improved delay-dependent stability criterion is established by means of a new partitioning method for bounding conditions on the activation function and certain new activation function conditions presented. Finally, the application of these novel results to an illustrative example from the literature has been investigated and their effectiveness is shown via comparison with the existing recent ones

Robust Stability of Markovian Jumping Genetic Regulatory Networks with Mode-Dependent Delays

The robust stability analysis problem is investigated for a class of Markovian jumping genetic regulatory networks with parameter uncertainties and mode-dependent delays, which varies randomly according to the Markov state and exists in both translation and feedback regulation processes. The purpose of the addressed stability analysis problem is to establish some easily verifiable conditions under which the Markovian jumping genetic regulatory networks with parameter uncertainties and mode-dependent delays is asymptotically stable. By utilizing a new Lyapunov functional and a lemma, we derive delay-dependent sufficient conditions ensuring the robust stability of the gene regulatory networks in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Illustrative examples are exploited to show the effectiveness of the derived linear-matrix-inequalities- (LMIS-) based stability conditions

Uniform Stability of a Class of Fractional-Order Nonautonomous Systems with Multiple Time Delays

In mathematics, to a large extent, control theory addresses the stability of solutions of differential equations, which can describe the behavior of dynamic systems. In this paper, a class of fractional-order nonautonomous systems with multiple time delays modeled by differential equations is considered. A sufficient condition is established for the existence and uniqueness of solutions for such systems involving Caputo fractional derivative, and the uniform stability of solution is studied. At last, two examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of our results
