DELAY-DEPENDENT GLOBAL ROBUST ASYMPTOTIC STABILITY ANALYSIS OF BAM NEURAL NETWORKS WITH TIME DELAY: AN LMI APPROACH

The global robust asymptotic stability of bi-directional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with constant or time-varying delays is studied. An approach combining the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional with the linear matrix inequality (LMI) is taken to study the problem. Some a criteria for the global robust asymptotic stability, which gives information on the delay-dependent property, are derived. Some illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
