Abstract

In this paper, the global asymptotic and exponential stability are investigated for a class of neural networks with distributed time-varying delays. By using appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, two delay-dependent sufficient conditions in LMIs form are obtained to guarantee the global asymptotic and exponential stability of the addressed neural networks. The proposed stability criteria do not require the monotonicity of the activation functions and the differentiability of the distributed time-varying delays, which means that the results generalize and further improve those in the earlier publications. An example is given to show the effectiveness of the obtained condition.
