Reachable set bounding for neural networks with mixed delays: Reciprocally convex approach.

Abstract

This paper discusses the reachable set estimation problem of neural networks with mixed delays. Firstly, by means of the maximal Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, we obtain a non-ellipsoid form of the reachable set. Further more, when calculating the derivative of the maximum Lyapunov functional, the lower bound lemma and reciprocally convex approach method are used to solve the reciprocally convex combination term, which reduce the related decision variables. Secondly, we extend the results to polytopic uncertainties neural networks and consider the case of uncertain differentiable parameters. Finally, two numerical examples and one application example are listed to show the validity of our methods.
