Abstract
This paper is concerned with the stability of static neural networks with time-varying delays. With the construction of a new Lyapunov functional and advanced techniques for calculating its derivative, a delay-dependent stability criterion is obtained that is less conservative than existing ones. A delay-independent criterion is also given that, together with the delay-dependent one, can be checked using recently developed algorithms. Examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and the reduced conservatism of the proposed results.
