A new augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach to exponential passivity for neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the problem of exponential passivity analysis for uncertain neural networks with time-varying delays is considered. By constructing new augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii's functionals and some novel analysis techniques, improved delay-dependent criteria for checking the exponential passivity of the neural networks are established. The proposed criteria are represented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which can be easily solved by various convex optimization algorithms. A numerical example is included to show the superiority of our results

New Results on Passivity Analysis of Delayed Discrete-Time Stochastic Neural Networks

The problem of passivity analysis for a class of discrete-time stochastic neural networks (DSNNs) with time-varying interval delay is investigated. The delay-dependent sufficient criteria are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The results are shown to be generalization of some previous results and are less conservative than the existing works. Meanwhile, the computational complexity of the obtained stability conditions is reduced because less variables are involved. Two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness and the benefits of the proposed method
