Robustly Exponential Stability Analysis for Discrete-Time Stochastic Neural Networks with Interval Time-Varying Delays

This paper deals with the problems of the global exponential stability and stabilization for a class of uncertain discrete-time stochastic neural networks with interval time-varying delay. By using the linear matrix inequality method and the free-weighting matrix technique, we construct a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and establish new sufficient conditions to guarantee that the uncertain discrete-time stochastic neural networks with interval time-varying delay are globally exponential stable in the mean square. Furthermore, we extend our consideration to the stabilization problem for a class of discrete-time stochastic neural networks. Based on the state feedback control law, some novel delay-dependent criteria of the robust exponential stabilization for a class of discrete-time stochastic neural networks with interval time-varying delay are established. The controller gains are designed to ensure the global robust exponential stability of the closed-loop systems. Finally, numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results we have obtained.
