Robust H a Performance of Discrete-time Neural Networks with Uncertainty and Time-varying Delay

In this paper, we are concerned with the robust H (a) problem for a class of discrete-time neural networks with uncertainties. Under a weak assumption on the activation functional, some novel summation inequality techniques and using a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii (L-K) functional, a delay-dependent condition guaranteeing the robust asymptotically stability of the concerned neural networks is obtained in terms of a Linear Matrix Inequality(LMI). It is shown that this stability condition is less conservative than some previous ones in the literature. The controller gains can be derived by solving a set of LMIs. Finally, two numerical examples result are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed theoretical results.
