Global exponential stability of Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with variable delays

A class of generalized Cohen-Grossberg neural networks（CGNNs） with variable de- lays are investigated. By introducing a new type of Lyapunov functional and applying the homeomorphism theory and inequality technique, some new conditions axe derived ensuring the existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium point and its global exponential stability for CGNNs. These results obtained are independent of delays, develop the existent outcome in the earlier literature and are very easily checked in practice.

Exponential stability of impulsive jump linear systems with Markov process

The exponential stability is investigated for a class of continuous time linear systems with a finite state Markov chain form process and the impulsive jump at switching moments. The conditions, based on the average dwell time and the ratio of expectation of the total time running on all unstable subsystems to the expectation of the total time running on all stable subsystems,assure the exponential stability with a desired stability degree of the system irrespective of the impact of impulsive jump. The uniformly bounded result is realized for the case in which switched system is subjected to the impulsive effect of the excitation signal at some switching moments.

EXPONENTIAL STABILITY FOR NONLINEAR HYBRID STOCHASTIC PANTOGRAPH EQUATIONS AND NUMERICAL APPROXIMATION

The paper develops exponential stability of the analytic solution and convergence in probability of the numerical method for highly nonlinear hybrid stochastic pantograph equation. The classical linear growth condition is replaced by polynomial growth conditions, under which there exists a unique global solution and the solution is almost surely exponentially stable. On the basis of a series of lemmas, the paper establishes a new criterion on convergence in probability of the Euler-Maruyama approximate solution. The criterion is very general so that many highly nonlinear stochastic pantograph equations can obey these conditions. A highly nonlinear example is provided to illustrate the main theory.

Robust exponential stability of uncertain discretetime impulsive switching systems with state delay

A new class of hybrid impulsive and switching models are introduced and their robust exponential stability and control synthesis are addressed. The proposed switched system is composed of stable subsystems and unstable subsystems, which not only involves state delay and norm-bounded time-varying parameter uncertainties, but also contains the impulsive switching effects between the subsystems. Based on the extension of the system dimension and the concept of average dwell time, a kind of practically useful switching rule is presented which guarantees the desired robust exponential stability. A switched state feedback controller is also given.

Improved Exponential Stability Criteria for Uncertain Neutral System with Nonlinear Parameter Perturbations

This paper investigates the problem of robust exponential stability for neutral systems with time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations. Based on a novel Lyapunov functional approach and linear matrix inequality technique, a new delay-dependent stability condition is derived. Since the model transformation and bounding techniques for cross terms are avoided, the criteria proposed in this paper are less conservative than some previous approaches by using the free-weighting matrices. One numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Exponential stability for uncertain neutral systems with Markov jumps

This paper deals with the global exponential stability problems for stochastic neutral Markov jump systems （MJSs） with uncertain parameters and multiple time-delays. The delays are respectively considered as constant and time varying cases, and the uncertainties are assumed to be norm bounded. By selecting appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functions, it gives the sufficient condition such that the uncertain neutral MJSs are globally exponentially stochastically stable for all admissible uncertainties. The stability criteria are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）, which can be easily checked in practice. Finally, two numerical examples are exploited to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed techniques.

Global exponential stability of switched systems

This paper proposes a method for the stability analysis of deterministic switched systems.Two motivational examples are introduced （nonholonomic system and constrained pendulum）.The finite collection of models consists of nonlinear models,and a switching sequence is arbitrary.It is supposed that there is no jump in the state at switching instants,and there is no Zeno behavior,i.e.,there is a finite number of switches on every bounded interval.For the analysis of deterministic switched systems,the multiple Lyapunov functions are used,and the global exponential stability is proved.The exponentially stable equilibrium of systems is relevant for practice because such systems are robust to perturbations.
