Global exponential stability of cellular neural networks with variable delays

摘要

For cellular neural networks with time-varying delays, the problems of determining the exponential stability and estimating the exponential convergence rate are investigated by employing the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. A novel criterion for the stability, which give information on the delay-dependent property, is derived. Two examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
