Abstract
This article investigates the problem of robust stability for neural networks with time-varying delays and parameter uncertainties of linear fractional form. By introducing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and a tighter inequality, delay-dependent stability criteria are established in term of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It is shown that the obtained criteria can provide less conservative results than some existing ones. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.
