Abstract
The problem of robust stability is investigated for nonlinear perturbed interval parametric neural networks with multiple time delays. The interval parameters of the neural networks are equivalent to matched uncertain parameter conditions via some matrix transformations. The sufficient conditions for robust stability of interval parametric neural networks with multiple time delays are developed based on Lyapunov stability theory. The robust stable criteria in this paper are presented in terms of linear matrix inequality.

Keywords
