Abstract
This article proposes three new methods to enlarge the feasible region for guaranteeing stability for generalized neural networks having time-varying delays based on the Lyapunov method. First, two new zero equalities in which three states are augmented are proposed and inserted into the results of the time derivative of the constructed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals for the first time. Second, inspired by the Wirtinger-based integral inequality, new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals are introduced. Finally, by utilizing the relationship among the augmented vectors and from the original equation, newly augmented zero equalities are established and Finsler's lemma are applied. Through three numerical examples, it is verified that the proposed methods can contribute to enhance the allowable region of maximum delay bounds.
