This paper focuses on the stability analysis of generalized neural networks with time-varying delays. First, a novel augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is constructed by introducing a couple of integral vectors. Second, by utilizing the novel augmented LKF and a generalized free-weightingmatrix integral inequality, two further stability criteria are presented in this paper. Third, a less conservative stability condition by refining the allowable delay set is introduced. Finally, the four well-known numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and improvements of the proposed methods. INDEX TERMS Generalized neural networks, Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, stability, time-varying delays.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
