Robust stability for uncertain genetic regulatory networks with interval time-varying delays

This paper addresses the problem of robust stability of uncertain genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with interval time-varying delays. We derive some new delay-range-dependent and delay-derivative-dependent/independent stability criteria by employing some free-weighting matrices and linear matrix inequalities. In our analysis, we carefully consider the relationship between the time-varying state delays and their bounds when calculating the upper bound of the derivative of Lyapunov functional. We hence show that, the rigorous requirement of other literatures that the time-derivatives of time-varying delays must be smaller than one is abandoned in the proposed scheme. The new criteria are applicable to both fast and slow time-varying delays. Finally, four numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and the less conservativeness of the developed results.     

Stochastic stability for uncertain genetic regulatory networks with interval time-varying delays

This paper is concerned with the robust asymptotic stability analysis for uncertain genetic regulatory networks with both interval time-varying delays and stochastic noise. By using the stochastic analysis approach, employing some free-weighting matrices and introducing an appropriate type of Lyapunov functional which takes into account the ranges of delays, some new delay-range-dependent and rate-dependent stability criteria are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to guarantee the delayed genetic regulatory networks to be robustly asymptotically stable in the mean square. As a result, the new criteria are applicable to both fast and slow time-varying delays. Five numerical examples are also used to demonstrate the usefulness of the main results and less conservativeness of the proposed method.     

Mean square exponential stability of stochastic genetic regulatory networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, we study the mean square exponential stability of stochastic genetic regulatory networks with time-varying delays. Two kinds of time-varying delays are considered: one is differentiable with bounded delay derivative the other is continuous without constraints on the delay derivative. In order to investigate the mean square exponential stability in stochastic genetic regulatory networks, some novel rate-dependent/independent mean square exponential stability criteria are derived by constructing Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. The sufficient conditions are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Moreover, illustrative examples are used to substantiate the effectiveness and less conservativeness of our results.     

Global robust passivity analysis for stochastic fuzzy interval neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the problem of passivity analysis is investigated for uncertain stochastic fuzzy interval neural networks with time-varying delays. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be bounded in given compact sets. For the neural networks under study, a generalized activation function is considered, where the traditional assumptions on the boundedness, monotony and differentiability of the activation functions are removed. By constructing proper Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and employing a combination of the free-weighting matrix method and stochastic analysis technique, new delay-dependent passivity conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be solved by some standard numerical packages. Finally, numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness and merits of the proposed method.

Global robust stability of interval neural networks with multiple time-varying delays

In this paper, the global robust stability is investigated for interval neural networks with multiple time-varying delays. The neural network contains time-invariant uncertain parameters whose values are unknown but bounded in given compact sets. Without assuming both the boundedness on the activation functions and the differentiability on the time-varying delays, a new sufficient condition is presented to ensure the existence, uniqueness, and global robust stability of equilibria for interval neural networks with multiple time-varying delays based on the Lyapunov–Razumikhin technique as well as matrix inequality analysis. Several previous results are improved and generalized, and an example is given to show the effectiveness of the obtained results.

Delay-dependent robust asymptotic state estimation of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy Hopfield neural networks with mixed interval time-varying delays

This paper investigates delay-dependent robust asymptotic state estimation of fuzzy neural networks with mixed interval time-varying delay. In this paper, the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model representation is extended to the robust state estimation of Hopfield neural networks with mixed interval time-varying delays. The main purpose is to estimate the neuron states, through available output measurements such that for all admissible time delays, the dynamics of the estimation error is globally asymptotically stable. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional which contains a triple-integral term, delay-dependent robust state estimation for such T-S fuzzy Hopfield neural networks can be achieved by solving a linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can be easily facilitated by using some standard numerical packages. The unknown gain matrix is determined by solving a delay-dependent LMI. Finally two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Delay-dependent robust stability analysis of uncertain stochastic neural networks with discrete interval and distributed time-varying delays

This paper is concerned with stability analysis problem for uncertain stochastic neural networks with discrete interval and distributed time-varying delays. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be norm bounded and the delay is assumed to be time-varying and belong to a given interval, which means that the lower and upper bounds of interval time-varying delays are available. Based on the new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and stochastic stability theory, delay-interval dependent stability criteria are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Some numerical examples and comparisons are provided to show that the proposed results significantly improve the allowable upper and lower bounds of delays over some existing results in the literature. Furthermore, the supplementary requirement that the time derivative of discrete time-varying delays must be smaller than the value one is not necessary to derive the results in this paper.     

Finite-time stability of neutral-type neural networks with random time-varying delays

This paper is devoted to the finite-time stability analysis of neutral-type neural networks with random time-varying delays. The randomly time-varying delays are characterised by Bernoulli stochastic variable. This result can be extended to analysis and design for neutral-type neural networks with random time-varying delays. On the basis of this paper, we constructed suitable Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional together and established a set of sufficient linear matrix inequalities approach to guarantee the finite-time stability of the system concerned. By employing the Jensen's inequality, free-weighting matrix method and Wirtinger's double integral inequality, the proposed conditions are derived and two numerical examples are addressed for the effectiveness of the developed techniques.     

New stability criteria for BAM neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the exponential stability is investigated for a class of time-delay BAM neural networks (NNs). Time delays of two layers are taken into account separately rather than as a whole with the idea of delay fractioning. Then we generalize the result to time-varying interval delay condition. Exploiting the known constant part of delay sufficiently to estimate the upper bounds, we can derive an improved stability for BAM NNs with time-varying interval delay. Two examples are provided to demonstrate the less conservatism and effectiveness of the proposed linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions.

Improved exponential stability criteria for recurrent neural networks with time-varying discrete and distributed delays

In this paper, the problem of the global exponential stability analysis is investigated for a class of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with time-varying discrete and distributed delays. Due to a novel technique when estimating the upper bound of the derivative of Lyapunov functional, we establish new exponential stability criteria in terms of LMIs. It is shown that the obtained criteria can provide less conservative results than some existing ones. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed results.     

Delay-distribution-dependent stability of stochastic discrete-time neural networks with randomly mixed time-varying delays

In this paper, the stability analysis problem for a new class of discrete-time neural networks with randomly discrete and distributed time-varying delays has been investigated. Compared with the previous work, the distributed delay is assumed to be time-varying. Moreover, the effects of both variation range and probability distribution of mixed time-delays are taken into consideration in the proposed approach. The distributed time-varying delays and coupling term in complex networks are considered by introducing two Bernoulli stochastic variables. By using some novel analysis techniques and Lyapunov–Krasovskii function, some delay-distribution-dependent conditions are derived to ensure that the discrete-time complex network with randomly coupling term and distributed time-varying delay is synchronized in mean square. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and the applicability of the proposed method.     

Robust design of feedback integrated with iterative learning control for batch processes with uncertainties and interval time-varying delays

A robust feedback integrated with iterative learning control (FILC) scheme for batch processes with uncertain perturbations and interval time-varying delay is developed. The batch process is modeled as a two-dimensional (2D) Rosser system with a delay varying in a range. The design of FILC scheme is transformed into a robust control problem of uncertain 2D system. New delay-range-dependent stability criteria and stabilization conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which depend on not only the difference between the upper and lower delay bounds but also the upper delay bound of the interval time-varying delay. Parameterized characterizations for stabilizing the controller are given in terms of the feasibility solutions to the LMIs. Applications to injection velocity control show that the proposed FILC achieve the design objectives well.     

Average consensus in networks of dynamic agents with switching topologies and multiple time-varying delays

In this paper, we discuss average consensus problem in undirected networks of dynamic agents with fixed and switching topologies as well as multiple time-varying communication delays. By employing a linear matrix inequality method, we prove that all the nodes in the network achieve average consensus asymptotically for appropriate communication delays if the network topology is connected. Particularly, several feasible linear matrix inequalities are established to determine the maximal allowable upper bound of time-varying communication delays. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and the sharpness of the theoretical results.     

New delay-dependent exponential stability criteria for neural networks with discrete and distributed time-varying delays

In this paper, the problem of exponential stability criteria for neural networks with discrete and distributed time-varying delays are considered. By dividing the discrete delay interval into multiple segments and choosing a new class of Lyapunov functional which contains tripe-integral terms, some new delay-dependent stability criteria are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The obtained criteria are less conservative because free-weighting matrices method and a convex optimization approach are considered. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
