“…In the framework of bounding ellipsoid, the quadratic Lyapunov function has played a fundamental role in the reachable set estimation of other complicated systems. For example, linear systems with both discrete and distributed delays [26, 27], neural networks with time‐varying delay [28], singular systems [29, 30], switched systems [31, 32], periodic systems [33, 34], T–S fuzzy systems [35], Markovian jump systems [36], positive linear systems [37] and so on. Very recently, reachable set estimation problem for MNNs with time‐delay was first investigated in [38] by LMI technique.…”
