Abstract:

The stability problem of switched genetic regulatory networks with timevarying delay is studied. Different from most existing results regarding the switched genetic regulatory networks, both stable and unstable subsystems are considered in the same model simultaneously. By using the average dwell time approach and the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) technique, the stability criterion of switched genetic regulatory networks with timevarying delay is obtained. Finally, numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.

Key words: genetic regulatory networks, stability, average dwell time
