This paper considers the robust stability of a class of switched neutral systems with discrete time-varying delay and time-varying structure. Sufficient conditions for exponential stability criteria are developed for arbitrary switching signal with average dwell time. The results are obtained...

Based on a general complex dynamic network model with nonsymmetrical time-delay coupling, and without assuming irreducibility, a strategy for global exponential synchronization is proposed based on the approach of linear state feedback controllers. Especially, the criteria for controller design...

In this paper, exponential periodicity and stability of delayed neural networks is investigated. Without assuming the boundedness and differentiability of the activation functions, some new sufficient conditions ensuring existence and uniqueness of periodic solution for a general class of neural...

Employing Brouwer’s fixed point theorem, matrix theory, a continuation theorem of the coincidence degree and inequality analysis, the authors study further global exponential stability and the existence of periodic solutions of a class of cellular neural networks with delays (DCNNs) in this...

In this paper Hopfield neural networks with continuously distributed delays are considered. Without assuming the global Lipschitz conditions of activation functions, sufficient conditions for the existence and exponential stability of the almost periodic solutions are established by using the...

This paper demonstrates the use of a semi-discretization technique for obtaining a discrete-time analogue of an exponentially convergent network that is subject to impulses with large magnitude. Prior to implementing the analogue for computer simulations, we investigate its exponential...

Purpose Trajectory tracking is an important issue to underactuated unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). However, parametric uncertainties and environmental disturbances bring great challenges to the precise trajectory tracking control of USVs. This paper aims to propose a robust trajectory tracking...

Based on a general complex dynamical network model with nonsymmetric coupling, some criteria for synchronization are proposed based on the approach of state observer design. Unlike the nonobserver-based dynamical networks, where the coupling between two connected nodes is defined by an inner...

There has been growing interest in analyzing stability in design controls of stochastic systems. This interest arises out of the need to develop robust control strategies for systems with uncertain dynamics. This paper is concerned with the examination of conditions under which the desired...
