Finite-time state estimation for jumping recurrent neural networks with deficient transition probabilities and linear fractional uncertainties

Stochastic Finite-Time H∞ State Estimation for Discrete-Time Semi-Markovian Jump Neural Networks With Time-Varying Delays

In this article, the finite-time H_∞ state estimation problem is addressed for a class of discrete-time neural networks with semi-Markovian jump parameters and time-varying delays. The focus is mainly on the design of a state estimator such that the constructed error system is stochastically finite-time bounded with a prescribed H_∞ performance level via finite-time Lyapunov stability theory. By constructing a delay-product-type Lyapunov functional, in which the information of time-varying delays and characteristics of activation functions are fully taken into account, and using the Jensen summation inequality, the free weighting matrix approach, and the extended reciprocally convex matrix inequality, some sufficient conditions are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities to ensure the existence of the state estimator. Finally, numerical examples with simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed results.
