Impulsive delay differential inequality and stability of neural networks

In this article, a generalized model of neural networks involving time-varying delays and impulses is considered. By establishing the delay differential inequality with impulsive initial conditions and using the properties of M-cone and eigenspace of the spectral radius of nonnegative matrices, some new sufficient conditions for global exponential stability of impulsive delay model are obtained. The results extend and improve the earlier publications. An example is given to illustrate the theory.
