Stability analysis of discrete-time stochastic neural networks with time-varying delays
This paper investigates the problem of stability analysis for a class of discrete-time stochastic neural networks (DSNNs) with time-varying delays. In the concerned model, stochastic disturbances are described by a Brownian motion, and time-varying delay d(k) d ( k ) satisfies dm?d(k)?dM d m ? d ( k ) ? d M . Based on the delay partitioning idea and some inequalities, a new stability criterion with less conservatism in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is proposed by introducing a novel LyapunovKrasovskii functional combined with a free-weighting matrix method. The condition can be checked by utilizing some numerical software and a numerical example is provided to show the usefulness of the proposed condition.
