Exponential Stability Analysis for Genetic Regulatory Networks with Both Time-Varying and Continuous Distributed Delays

The global exponential stability is investigated for genetic regulatory networks with time-varying delays and continuous distributed delays. By choosing an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, new conditions of delay-dependent stability are obtained in the form of linear matrix inequality (LMI). The lower bound of derivatives of time-varying delay is first taken into account in genetic networks stability analysis, and the main results with less conservatism are established by interactive convex combination method to estimate the upper bound of derivative function of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. In addition, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
