Abstract
This paper focuses on the issue of robust stability analysis for recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with leakage delay. By constructing a novel Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional together with the reciprocally convex approach and the free-weighting matrix technique, some less conservative stability criteria in terms of linear matrix inequalities for RNNs are derived. The new contribution of this paper is that a novel delay-partitioning method is proposed, and some new zero equalities are introduced. Finally, several examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. The simulated results reveal that the leakage delay has great influence on the dynamical systems, and it cannot be neglected.
