A new class of hybrid impulsive and switching models are introduced and their robust exponential stability and control synthesis are addressed.The proposed switched system is composed of stable subsystems and unstable subsys- tems,which not only involves state delay and norm-bounded time-varying parameter uncertainties,but also contains the impulsive switching effects between the subsystems.Based on the extension of the system dimension and the concept of average dwell time,a kind of practically useful switching rule is presented which guarantees the desired robust exponential stability.A switched state feedback controller is also given.

This paper deals with the global asymptotic stability problem for Hopfield neural networks with time-varying delays. By resorting to the integral inequality and constructing a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a novel delay-dependent condition is established to guarantee the existence and global asymptotic stability of the unique equilibrium point for a given delayed Hopfield neural network. This criterion is expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be easily checked by utilizing the recently developed algorithms for solving LMIs. Examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and reduced conservatism of the proposed condition.
