Abstract
The stability of neural networks with a time-varying delay is studied in this article. First, a relaxed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is presented, in which the positive-definiteness requirement of the augmented quadratic term and the delay-product-type terms are set free, and two double integral states are augmented into the single integral terms at the same time. Second, a new negative-definiteness determination method is put forward for quadratic functions by utilizing Taylor's formula and the interval-decomposition approach. This method encompasses the previous negative-definiteness determination approaches and has less conservatism. Finally, the proposed LKF and the negative-definiteness determination method are applied to the stability analysis of neural networks with a time-varying delay, whose advantages are shown by two numerical examples.
