A note on stability of analog neural networks with time delays

This note presents a generalized sufficient condition which guarantees stability of analog neural networks with time delays. The condition is derived using a Lyapunov functional and the stability criterion is stated as: the equilibrium of analog neural networks with delays is globally asymptotically stable if the product of the norm of connection matrix and the maximum neuronal gain is less than one.
