Exponential stability and extended dissipativity criteria for generalized discrete-time neural networks with additive time-varying delays

This paper is concerned with exponential stability and extended dissipativity criteria for generalized discrete-time neural networks (GDNNs) with additive time-varying delays. The generalized dissipativity analysis combines a few previous results into a framework, such as l(2) -l(infinity) performance, H-infinity performance, passivity performance, strictly (Q, S, R) - gamma dissipative and strictly (Q, S, R)-dissipative. The definition of exponential stability for GDNNs is given with a new and more appropriate expression. A novel augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) which involves more information about the additive time-varying delays is constructed. By introducing more zero equalities and using a new double summation inequality together with Finsler's lemma, an improved delay-dependent exponential stability and extended dissipativity criterion are derived in terms of convex combination technique (CCT). Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the usefulness and advantages of the proposed methods. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
