Robust State Estimation for Delayed Complex-Valued Neural Networks

This paper is concerned with the state estimation problem for the uncertain complex-valued neural networks with time delays. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be norm-bounded. Through available output measurements containing nonlinear Lipschitz-like terms, we aim to design a state estimator to estimate the complex-valued network such that, for all admissible parameter uncertainties and time delay, the dynamics of the error-state system is guaranteed to be globally asymptotically stable. In addition, the case that there are no parameter uncertainties is also considered. By utilizing the Lyapunov functional method and matrix inequality techniques, some sufficient delay-dependent criteria are derived to assure the existence of the desired estimator gains. Finally, two numerical examples with simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed estimation schemes.
