Finite-Time Robust Stability of Uncertain Genetic Regulatory Networks with Time-Varying Delays and Reaction-Diffusion Terms by Wenqin Wang, Yali Dong, Shouming Zhong, Feng Liu

“…This study seeks to address the finite-time robust stability of delayed genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with uncertain parameters and reaction-diffusion terms. We employ an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional to derive some less conservative stability criteria for GRNs under Dirichlet boundary conditions, which are delay-dependent, delay-derivative-dependent, and reaction-diffusion-dependent. …”
