Abstract: The global asymptotic stability of cellular neural networks with time-varying delays is investigated. A novel sufficient judging criterion of the equilibrium point of global asymptotic stability of cellular neural networks with time-varying delays is given. First，the cellular neural network model with time-delay is proposed，the conditions for the system to activate the function and the lemma would be used are introduced. Then，the system under study carries out the“linearization” through an equation. The global asymptotic stability of cellular neural networks with time-delay is discussed by utilizing Lyapunov- Krasovskii functional method and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique，on the basis of defining a mapping operation system associated with the system. The results obtained are associated with the time-delay. Finally，a numerical example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
