Passivity analysis of integro-differential neural networks with time-varying delays

This paper discusses the passivity for integro-differential neural networks with time-varying delays. By constructing proper Lyapunov functionals and using some analytic techniques, several sufficient conditions are given to ensure the passivity of the integro-differential neural networks with time-varying delays. The passivity conditions are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be easily solved by using the effective interior-point algorithm.
