Novel delay-dependent stability criteria for neural networks with interval time-varying delay

The problem of delay-dependent asymptotic stability for neural networks with interval time-varying delay is investigated. Based on the idea of delay decomposition method, a new type of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is constructed. Several novel delay-dependent stability criteria are presented in terms of linear matrix inequality by using the Jensen integral inequality and a new convex combination technique. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate that the proposed method is effective and less conservative.
