Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the problem of global exponential stability analysis for a class of bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with interval time-delays. Improved exponential stability condition is derived by employing new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the integral inequality. Several special cases of interest are derived. The developed stability criteria are delay dependent and characterized by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The developed results are shown to be less conservative than previous published ones in the literature. Finally, simulations of two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficacy of our approach.
