Abstract
In this paper, the asymptotic stability problem of genetic regulatory networks with time-varying/constant neutral delay is considered. By introducing a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and applying the free weighting matrix technique, sufficient delay-dependent stability conditions are developed and presented in terms of strict linear matrix inequality, which can be easily verified by using the LMI toolbox. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and reduced conservativeness of the proposed algorithm.
