Global exponential stability analysis of bidirectional associative memory neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, global exponential stability is studied for a class of high-order bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with time-varying delays. An approach combining the Lyapunov functional with the Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) is taken to study the problems. Several sufficient conditions are presented for ensuring the system to be globally exponentially stable. Three typical examples are presented to show the application of the criteria obtained in this paper.
