Finite-time boundedness analysis of a class of neutral type neural networks with time delays

Abstract

In this paper, the finite time boundedness (FTB) for certain and uncertain neutral type neural networks are investigated. The concept of FTB for time delay system is extended first. Then, based on the Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, some sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee FTB, and our results are less conservative than exiting results. Finally, some examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and improvement of the proposed results. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
