Abstract

This work addresses the asymptotic stability for a class of impulsive cellular neural networks with time-varying delays and reaction-diffusion. By using the impulsive integral inequality of Gronwall-Bellman type and Hardy-Sobolev inequality as well as piecewise continuous Lyapunov functions, we summarize some new and concise sufficient conditions ensuring the global exponential asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point. The provided stability criteria are applicable to Dirichlet boundary condition and showed to be dependent on all of the reaction-diffusion coefficients, the dimension of the space, the delay, and the boundary of the spatial variables. Two examples are finally illustrated to demonstrate the effectiveness of our obtained results.
