Abstract This paper considers the problem of robust stability of uncertain neural networks with two additive time varying delay components. The activation functions are monotone nondecreasing with known lower and upper bounds. By constructing of a modified augmented Lyapunov function, some new stability criteria are established in term of linear matrix inequalities, which is easily solved by various convex optimization techniques. Compared with the existing works, the obtained criteria are less conservative due to reciprocal convex technique and an improved inequality, which provides more accurate upper bound than Jensen inequality for dealing with the cross-term. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Keywords Asymptotic stability, neural networks, additive time-varying delay

Introduction

In the past few decades, neural networks have been one of the hottest issues for their successful applications in various fields such as signal processing, pattern recognition, model identification and optimization problem [1-4]. In hardware implementation of neural networks, it is well known that time delay is frequently occurred, and the existence of time delay may cause instability and poor performance [5-10]. Therefore, much effort has been devoted to the delay dependent stability analysis of delayed neural networks [11-19], since delay-dependent stability criteria are generally less conservative than delay-independent ones especially when the size of the time delay is small. In recent years, much attentions have been received in robustness analysis for 1

uncertain neural networks due to the existence of modeling errors, external disturbance, and parameter fluctuations [20-24]. In the systems considered above, the time delay in a state was assumed to appear in singular form. However, in practical situations especially networked controlled systems, signals sometimes transmitted from one point to another two segments of networks. Therefore, a system with two additive time varying delay components has been considered as a new model of time-delay systems due to variable transmission conditions [25-34]. Zhao et al. [30] proposed a stability criterion for neural networks with two additive time-varying delay components by using free-weighting matrix method. Han et al. [31] improved the result in [30] by employing a convex polyhedron method. Tian et al. [32] derived a less conservative stability criterion by constructing augmented Lyapunov functional and using reciprocally convex method. In [33], some less conservative results were derived by using convex polyhedron method or reciprocally convex method. Recently, the delay-dependent stability criteria for generalized neural networks with two delay components was investigated in [34]. Although these results and analytic tools are elegant for the stability of neural networks with two additive time-varying delay components, there still have room for further improvement. On one hand, Jenson inequality [30-34], which neglects some terms, was employed to estimate the upper bound of some derivative of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. On the other hand, activation functions were not fully utilized for constructing the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, the robust stability for neural networks with two additive delay components has not been investigated by any researchers. Inspired by the discussion above, in this paper, we are aim at giving a robust stability criterion of uncertain neural networks with additive time-varying delay components, and providing a less conservative stability criterion of delayed neural networks without uncertainties by some new techniques. The two additive time-varying delay is defined as h(t) = h1 (t) + h2 (t), where h1 (t) is the time delay induced from sensor to controller and h2 (t) is the delay induced from controller to actuator [25-34]. Based on the modified augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii, which is fully utilized the information of activation functions, some stability criteria are derived by reciprocally convex method [35] and an improved inequality [36], which provides more accurate upper bound than Jensen inequality for dealing with the cross-term. Finally, two numerical examples are given to demonstrate that the proposed conditions which are less conservative than

Problem statement

The uncertain delayed neural networks is described by y(t) ˙ = −(C + ∆C)y(t) + (A + ∆A)g(y(t)) + (B + ∆B)g(y(t − h1 (t) − h2 (t))) + J, (1) where y(t) = [y1 (t), y2 (t), . . . , yn (t)]T ∈ Rn is the neuron state vector associated with n neurons, C = diag{c1 , c2 , . . . , cn } > 0, g(y(·)) = [g1 (y1 (·)), g2 (y2 (·)), . . . , gn (yn (·))]T ∈ Rn denotes the continuous activation function, J = [J1 , J2 , . . . , Jn ]T is an exogenous input vector, A ∈ Rn×n and B ∈ Rn×n are the connection weight matrix and the delayed connection weigh matrix, respectively. h1 (t) and h2 (t) are two time-varying delays satisfying 0 ≤ h1 (t) ≤ h1 , h˙ 1 (t) ≤ µ1 , 0 ≤ h2 (t) ≤ h2 , h˙ 2 (t) ≤ µ2 ,

(2)

where h1 , h2 , µ1 and µ2 are known constants. Naturally, we denote h(t) = h1 (t) + h2 (t), h = h1 + h2 , µ = µ1 + µ2 . The uncertainties satisfy the following condition: [∆C ∆A ∆B] = DF (t)[E1 E2 E3 ],

(3)

where D, E1 , E2 andE3 are known constant matrices; F (t) ∈ Rn×n is the unknown real timevarying matrices with Lebesgue measurable elements bounded by F T (t)F (t) ≤ I, ∀t ≥ 0.

(4)

The activation function gi (·) satisfies gi (ξ1 ) − gi (ξ2 ) ≤ ki+ , ξ1 − ξ2 gi (0) = 0, ξ1 , ξ2 ∈ R, ξ1 = ξ2 , i = 1, 2, . . . , n, ki− ≤

(5)

where ki− , ki+ are some known constants. From the Brouwer’s fixed-point theorem, there exists an equilibrium point for the neural networks. Assume that y ∗ = [y1∗ , y2∗ , . . . , yn∗ ] is an equilibrium point of system (1) and using the transformation x(·) = y(·) − y ∗ , the system (1) can be converted to the following form: x(t) ˙ = −(C + ∆C)x(t) + (A + ∆A)f (x(t)) + (B + ∆B)f (x(t − h(t))),

(6)

where x(t) = [x1 (t), x2 (t), . . . , xn (t)]T ∈ Rn is the state vector of the transformed system, f (x(·)) = [f1 (x1 (·)), f2 (x2 (·)), . . . , fn (xn (·))]T ∈ Rn and fi (xi (·)) = gi (xi (·) + y ∗ ) − gi (y ∗ )(i = 1, 2 . . . , n). Then, according to the inequality (5), one can obtain that fi (ξ1 ) − fi (ξ2 ) ≤ ki+ , ξ1 − ξ2 fi (0) = 0, ξ1 , ξ2 ∈ R, ξ1 = ξ2 , i = 1, 2, . . . , n,

ki− ≤

(7)

where ki− , ki+ are some known constants. Now, the system (6) can be rewritten as x(t) ˙ = −Cx(t) + Af (x(t)) + Bf (x(t − h(t))) + Dp(t), p(t) = F (t)q(t),

(8)

q(t) = E1 x(t) + E2 f (x(t)) + E3 f (x(t − h(t))). In what follows, some essential lemmas are introduced. Lemma 2.1[36] For a given matrix R > 0, the following inequality holds for all continuously differentiable function x(t) in [a, b] ∈ Rn :  −(b − a)

Remark 2.1 Since R > 0, ΩT RΩ is positive.

Lemma 2.2 [35] Let f1 , f2 , . . . , fN : Rm → R have positive values in an open subset D of Rm .

By Eq. (3), the following inequality holds pT (t)p(t) ≤ q T (t)q(t),

there exists a positive  satisfying the following inequality: [q T (t)q(t) − pT (t)p(t)] = ξ T (t)Ψξ(t).

From Eqs. (13)-(26) and by application of S-procedures [38], if Eq. (10) holds, then an upper bound of V˙ (t) is V˙ (t) ≤ ξ T (t)Υξ(t).

(27)

Based on Lemma 2.3, ξ T (t)Υξ(t) < 0 with Γξ(t) = 0 is equivalent to (Γ⊥ )T ΥΓ⊥ < 0. This 

completes the proof.

Remark 3.1 Without uncertainties, system (6) is reduced to x(t) ˙ = −Cx(t) + Af (x(t)) + Bf (x(t − h(t))),

From Table 1 and Table 2, one can know clearly that the results obtained by Corollary 3.1 can provide larger admissible upper bounds than the stability criteria in [31,32,33,34]

Conclusion

In this paper, the delay-dependent stability problem for uncertain delayed neural networks with two additive time-varying delay components has been studied. Based on the modified augmented Lyapunov functional, some new delay-dependent asymptotic stability criteria are derived by using reciprocally convex method and more accurate upper bound of the integral form. The effectiveness of the theoretical results has been demonstrated by two numerical examples.
