Stability Analysis of Bidirectional Associative Memory Neural Networks with Time-Varying Delays via Second-Order Reciprocally Convex Approach

This research examines the Lyapunov-based criterion for global asymptotic stability of Bidirectional Associative Memory (BAM) neural networks that have mixed-interval time-varying delays. Using a second-order reciprocally convex approach, this paper introduces a novel stability criterion for BAM neural networks with time delays. The literature has recently incorporated a few triple integral expressions in the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional to lessen conservatism in the analysis of system stability with interval time-varying delays using a second-order reciprocally convex combination strategy. This research work establishes the negative definiteness of the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional derivative and is formulated using Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). The effectiveness of the proposed result is demonstrated through numerical examples.
