New delay-dependent stability criteria for neural networks with two additive time-varying delay components

This brief is concerned with delay-dependent stability for neural networks with two additive time-varying delay components. By constructing a new Lyapunov functional and using a convex polyhedron method to estimate the derivative of the Lyapunov functional, some new delay-dependent stability criteria are derived. These stability criteria are less conservative than some existing ones. An example is given to demonstrate the less conservatism of the stability results.
