Abstract

This paper studies the problem of stability analysis for discrete-time recurrent neural networks (DRNNs) with time-varying delays. By using the discrete Jensen inequality and the sector bound conditions, a new less conservative delay-dependent stability criterion is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) under a weak assumption on the activation functions. By using a delay decomposition method, a further improved stability criterion is also derived. It is shown that the newly obtained results are less conservative than the existing ones. Meanwhile, the computational complexity of the newly obtained stability conditions is reduced since less variables are involved. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness and the benefits of the proposed method.
